We'll meet at the port in Malé at 10 am and have a quick walk around, heading towards the oldest school in the city, which boasts a literacy rate of 98%.

After seeing the school, we'll visit the Malé Friday Mosque, the second largest mosque on the island, where our guide will share details about famous individuals interred there.

Next, we'll head to the Royal Garden Café for traditional black tea, followed by a visit to the 3rd November Memorial.

Our next stop will be Sultan Park, also known as Rasrani Park, home to the National Museum. Entrance to the museum is not included.

We'll proceed to the Islamic Centre to learn about the significance of Islam in Malé, then pass by Independence Square, the city's political center rich in history.
