Shopping in Maldives is an amazing experience . For shopping, the best place to head for is Male , the capital of Maldives . Here, many shops cater specifically to the tourists, selling local handicrafts and other art items. It is also a place well known for its sale of imported goods.
The Local Market
The “Local Market” is located on the Northern waterfront, a block away from the Male Fish Market. When compared to the frenzy of activity in the rest of the neighbourhood, a peaceful atmosphere prevails on the block.
The market is divided into small stalls, with each stall selling local products from the atolls. Some of the produces on display are different kinds of local vegetables, fruits, yams and packets of sweetmeat, nuts and breadfruit chips. Bottles of pickles, home made sweets and banana bunches hang on coir ropes from ceiling beams . |
