The untouched side of Maldives
16 Mart 2023, Maldivler ⋅ 🌧 27 °C
Last day in the Maldives before continuing to India. It was a lovely time, interesting to see the other side of Meldives than what we usually know about Maldives, luxury holidays.

In addition to the luxurious resorts, there are other islands with beautiful beaches that are (still) untouched by tourism. As an island nation, life revolves around the sea. The culture of the Maldives is influenced by Indian, African, Arabic and Sri Lankan cultures. Maldivians have assimilated bits of everything and built a unique culture. You can also see that in the food culture, which has different influences.

The official language of the Maldives is called Dhivehi and is of Indo-Iranian Sanskrit origin, but most people also understand English. Islam is the official and only permitted religion in the Maldives, no other religion may be practiced. To be a citizen or own land you have to be a Sunni Muslim, no exception allowed. Historically, the Maldives has been a Buddhist country, but this has changed during 12. Century when Islam was introduced and slowly Buddhism disappeared, also by force.

Not visible to us as tourists, but religion is an integral part of life here and the culture of the Maldives itself is based on Islamic Sharia, as in Dubai. The rules are strict here, but thats why resorts were built where tourists can have fun. Islam is strictly followed on the local islands.Okumaya devam et

Authentic Thulusdoo
15 Mart 2023, Maldivler ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
At first glance, Thulusdhoo looks like a populated industrial town with warehouses and factories dotting the landscape. Take a closer look and you'll see that it still retains its traditional charm. With a touch of Caribbean atmosphere, Thulusdhoo is a hidden gem, as we experienced ourselves.

It is about 1.5 km long and just over half a kilometer wide and has about 1400 inhabitants. You cycle around the island in 30 minutes and would have seen everything. And this "everything" is pure natural beauty, untouched by the tourist crowds, but authentic local life with free, endless beaches. A few grocery and hardware stores on the island stock fruits, vegetables, basic groceries, and beach and surf gear, and only one ATM.

From any point on Thulusdhoo, the beach is never too far. And its warm turquoise waters, always welcoming. Like other public islands in the Maldives, Thulusdhoo has a Bikini Beach (reserved for tourists only) on its west coast. This is the lonely spot on the island where you can strip down to your bikinis and get a good tan.

Thulusdhoo gained much fame as a surfing hotspot in the world and because of the Coca-Cola Company. Aside from being the only one in the Maldives, what makes the facility unique is that it's the only place where Coca-Cola uses desalinated water. The Surfbreak Cokes gets its name from the factory. But honestly, the cola tastes like everywhere else.Okumaya devam et

Thulusdoo, the local island
14 Mart 2023, Maldivler ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
We arrived on Thulusdoo in the early afternoon after about a 30 minute speedboat ride. Thulusdoo is one of the few native islands.

Most of the islands of the Maldives are resorts where locals are not allowed. In the past the local islands werent open to tourists but that changed a few years ago which is why we decided to go to a local island to see the life of ordinary people, and our first impressions confirmed our decision.Okumaya devam et

First Night on Maldives, Capital Malé
13 Mart 2023, Maldivler ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
After spending the night in a capsule hotel in Male, which is quiet an experience, we woke up early and went to see the city.

Male is the capital and main island of the Maldives. With 130'000 inhabitants and an estimated 50'000 employees on an area of 2 square kilometers, the city is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Male is located on the southernmost tip of North Male Atoll (Kaafu Atoll), directly opposite the international airport. Its a very noisy and congested and outdated area. There isnt much to see here except for a few places like the Old Friday Mosque (Blue Mosque) which can also be seen from the airport, the Vegetable and Fruit Market and the Fish Market.

The Maldives is the name for the entire archipelago. “The islands (dives) of “Malé” is the translation of the term “Maldives”. The first settlers on the Maldivian islands were Dravidians, who came from the neighboring coasts of the modern Indian subcontinent and the coast of Ceylon. The influence of "India" is visible everywhere.

After 1-2 hours of walking around the city, we decided to leave the capital and go to Thulusdoo, the local island, where we will spend the most of our time in the Maldives.Okumaya devam et

Bye Bye United Arab Emirates
12 Mart 2023, Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri
Today we fly from the UAE to the Maldives.

Abu Dhabi was a revelation. A city with tradition and much greater luxury than Dubai, but unlike Dubai, this luxury is carried out quietly and with style. The city focuses more on culture than entertainment, many museums and mosques can be found here.

Dubai, on the other hand, is an exciting city, tradition and modernity together and pure decadence, alongside the ordinary people, made up of foreigners doing jobs the rich don't want to do. It is an international city in the truest sense of the word, over 90% are foreigners, the majority Indians. Interestingly, everyone in Dubai can get a visa relatively easily, it is enough to go on vacation here and find a job during this period. The salary depends on origin and training, so a doctor from Switzerland earns many times more than an Indian doctor who works next to him. A city that firmly adheres to the Muslim religion, Sharia is the basis of the constitution and it's a tough dictatorship - words against the king and royal family will get you in trouble - but if you look closer and also talk to people, it is the city is not only known for luxury, but also for dirty parties. Its a playground for the rich and beautiful, but only behind the doors.

UAE are expensive, like Switzerland, if you are a tourist and move around in the areas, but if you walk a few corners yourself, old town for example or just around the corner from the Dubal Mall, you can eat delicious food or do shopping for a few bucks.Okumaya devam et

Kite Beach, Burj al Arab and Atlantis
11 Mart 2023, Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
We spent the rest of the day at Kite Beach near the Burj al Arab. Kite Beach is one of Dubai's most popular beaches - perfect for sun-seekers, foodies and sports enthusiasts alike. It is right on the Jumeirah district. Chilling and cocktails before going to Atlantis the Palm. The hotel is a world apart, as I was fortunate to experience in 2012 during my stay there. You don't have to leave it because it's all there. Great restaurants and bars, shopping and also an aqua park and a huge aquarium, a great experience. But we only visited it briefly today.Okumaya devam et
