5.00On November 28, we arrived at the airport on a luxury boat from Patina. We were immediately placed in the caring hands of Mohamed Faisal, who collected our luggage and escorted us to the airport. He took us the shortest way. As we stood in line to register, he told us interesting facts about the Maldives and its history. A very decent, polite, erudite man. Thank you for your service and care

5.00Loved our mini trip around Male with Faisal! We got a very interesting crash history course, poked around a souvenir shop to cool off, saw a few stingrays and the fish market as well as fishermen at work, tasted some snacks at the food market and even did a quick drive around the new phase of the island. He got us to the airport on time and took care of us all the way past check in.
