What To Expect

Hukuru Miskiiy Mosque

The Malé Friday Mosque or the Malé Hukuru Miskiy, also known as the Old Friday Mosque is one of the oldest and most ornate mosques in the city of Malé, Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. Coral boulders of the genus Porites, found throughout the archipelago, are the basic materials used for construction of this and other mosques in the country because of its suitability. Although the coral is soft and easily cut to size when wet, it makes sturdy building blocks when dry. The mosque was added to the tentative UNESCO World Heritage cultural list in 2008 as unique examples of sea-culture architecture.

Our driver picked us up at the port entrance and took us around town. We made several stops where he parked and took us on short walks to see some of the older and historic buildings in the city. Be advised that some of the sites have a few short or uneven steps. Not difficult, just a little unexpected. So watch your step. We especially enjoyed the Hindu Temple with all the outside carvings of the gods and the Buddhist Temple. It was interesting to see how the influences of the Dutch, British and others have influenced the city.

The tour was supposed to pick us up at the airport. We waited there and finally they said they are waiting for us at the Airport Ferry Terminal on Male side. Then the tour guide said it will be just a 1 hour tour when the tour was advertised to be 3 hours. So after 1 hour 15 min he took us to a very expensive restaurant. He kept saying we should try their steamed fish which costs about $70. We opted for a steamed crab dish. There were only 2 small crabs in crab soup with some vegetables which was $40. We also ordered a cheese nan which wasn't very good.
Great city immersion tour.
