The Magnificent Maldives

The Maldives are a group of very small Island in the Indian
Ocean, near Sri Lanka. It has the smallest population of
any Asian countries. There are about 1200 islands and
there are people living on 200 of them. About 400,000
people live in the Maldives and 75,000 of them are on the
capital island, Malѐ. Malѐ is different from the other
islands in the Maldives, because it doesn’t have any
beaches. In fact, there is a small wall that goes around the
whole island.

Eighty-seven of the islands in the Maldives have

different types of hotels on them, so tourists can
go and enjoy their holidays. They can even stay
in a small cabin right over the water like the
one in the picture.

It is very easy to get around the islands. When you arrive

on the airport island, you can take a dhoni and go to
Malѐ. This is a small boat used for transportation around
the islands. Dhoni taxis go from the airport island to the
capital island every fifteen minutes and after midnight
every half an hour. You can use these boats to visit other
islands, too.

The Maldives are a popular place for scuba diving, because

there are many wonderful fish in the water to see. Also, the
water is very clear so when you are underwater you can see
for more than 50 meters! There are many professional diving
schools with instructors. They speak many languages, so you
can find someone to help you. Of course, that’s not all you
can do on these beautiful islands. You can go whale and
dolphin watching, fishing, surfing, snorkeling, hiking or
explore the towns.

1. According to the article do you consider the Maldives island a good place to have a
relaxing time? Why?
Yes, because the maldives are a group of very small Island and you can do a lot of
interesting activities. You can stay in a small and very awensome cabin in to the water.
You can go to fishing, surfing, snorkeling, hiking and explore the towns or watch whales and
dolphins.
2. How can you get around the islands and how do you describe the transportation?
When you arrive to the airport island you need to take a Dhoni taxy to go to the island to
you want to go
