It’s not that small, I mean it’s pretty small, but It will take about 20 minutes to walk to the other side of the island, and that’s kinda long for some people who have to get to work quick.
But why don't they use bicycles, I only saw a handfull of them. I can't grasp their love for scooters, fuel costs, and in such a crowded space, the scooters use a lot of it.
After visiting Maldives island go Phuket Thailand and also visit the Philippines with their world-class beaches like Coron Palawan, Boracay, Kalanggaman Island, Panglao, Tambuli Beach, Badian, and many more white sand islands and inland waterfalls & streams. After yourislang hoping visit BGC area. More Love in the Philippines!
Scary. There are no high lands. Only high rise buildings. Nice country with limited resources. I hope this island would not be struck by tsunami. Very vulnerable country to climate change. Water level rising same as Kiribati 🙁
Such a difference from the amazing resorts visitors go to the Maldives for. Most visitors to the Maldives dont even go to Male. They land at the airport and then join speedboat or seaplane transfers straight to their resorts. There are resorts in and around Male but I dont think I would like to stay there. Many large ships arriving and departing Male on a daily basis.
How do they get electricity on the islands? Where are the power plants? How do they generate electricity? Or do they use green energy like solar and wind?
Interesting video. I would personally find spending a lot of time here claustrophobic with the amount of people in such a small area. I have been to Veligandu island (20 mins sea plane from Male) twice though many years ago. Absolute paradise. Wonderful, friendly staff, great food, and the Indian Ocean which is like a warm bath in the lagoon surrounding the island. One day maybe I'll get back there but it's very expensive from the UK.
As a Maldivian I think male’ is the most cramped and the most claustrophobic island I ever been to in my life ( Hulhumale and the other islands are way better) you could little walk from one side to another in like an hour. No need to use motorcycles and cars to pump out gas that can harm the sky. We can just walk and use bicycles. ( ok maybe have a few cars so that they can go to the airport) and other than that Hulhumale is way better than male’ Hulhumale has more trees and more area than at least male’ and mostly my last point male’ is mostly full of garbage and everyone cramps in to go anywhere mostly the strangers I met half of the are really impatient. THIS IS WHY I LIVE IN CANADA 🇨🇦 way better
@Francis Lim I think he's talking about the country, like it's super small and shit, I mean for me I don't care since I have my social life and academic life to keep myself busy, if I get bored I'll play some games or something, no one here really cares we don't have forests or any terrain to go adventure on, it's just a fairly normal city, excluding the use of motorcycles and lower wage than most Europeans and Americans, our lives are normal, I live in a pretty big house compared to other Maldivians, I had suicidal thoughts before but not because of loneliness, it was due to other reasons. Anyways, you seem to have misunderstood him and you seem pretty ignorant and misinformed about many things.
Out of the 1000+ islands in our country im ashamed that this happens to be the face of it all. People from other countries don't realize that due to the crappy government centralizing the country to the capital people are forced to reallocate for medicine, education etc. Check some of the other islands in Maldives they don't have as much trash and over crowding but the facilities available are that of medieval times.
last time I visited Male in 2010 just 5 years difference with this footage was taken, look like becomes more crowded....I can't imagine how about nowadays....
i dnt see why they need cars, even bikes on a tiny spect of land like this! i come frm an island the same size frm the Pacific islands & we dnt have cars there. everything is a walking distance.
It is not Maldives, it is called Malai thivu means garland islands, the English people pronounced as Maldives, and also Anda man, Nakavarm has Nichobar, Nakavaràm means people without dress, this was ruled by Raja Raja and Rajendra Cholas.

Love from Pakistan🇵🇰 to my Maldives🇲🇻 brother and sisters ❤❤❤
Maldives looks great love and greetings from INDIA 🇮🇳.
The best country in south asia love from nepal.
Why in south Asia have a look in the map once again Maldives is the Indian Ocean ok
Oh, so live in nepal, huh? *loads gun* name every city in nepal
It' is super claustrophobic. You can walk from one end to the other in 40min, it's just 2,9km long and 1,3 wide
In 30min
No it's not 2.9km in length. It's about 1.8km in length.
5.3km around the island.
When U lost in Sea & U found A Town with Cosmopolitan life. It's Malé.
Why u need vehicles in such small city
TeagueyBoy it looks small, but you havent even been there yet.... Its still big, yet one the smallest places ever.
CheeseyPlayz I visited minicoy hardly 8 kms long was surprised most have two wheelers some even cars how long is ur island? length vs breadth
thrishul h IDK, But im in Malé and All I can say its big but small.
It’s not that small, I mean it’s pretty small, but It will take about 20 minutes to walk to the other side of the island, and that’s kinda long for some people who have to get to work quick.
But why don't they use bicycles, I only saw a handfull of them. I can't grasp their love for scooters, fuel costs, and in such a crowded space, the scooters use a lot of it.
Male could be a great city if all residents have commitment to use bicycle. no more fossil vehicles!
Agreed, the place is so small make it easier to execute such policy. But they need a better government.
Thank God the world is not run by Nazis
Yh I really prefer bicycles than vehicles

I bet they rarely have case of stolen car or motorcycle there.. 😅
nailed it
Yes
I Wayan Adisaputra yup
Nope
Bicycles are stolen everyday.
The city locals is polluted and dirty but the islands for tourists is beautiful.
Great video! I love your camera work and the scenes you captured. Seems like a interesting place to visit.
Scary. There are no high lands. Only high rise buildings. Nice country with limited resources. I hope this island would not be struck by tsunami. Very vulnerable country to climate change. Water level rising same as Kiribati 🙁
no worries
Here the lagoons are getting shallower everyday for the past 50 years. So we have to keep dragging it to allow the boats to come in.
The maldives was struck by a massive tsunami in 2004
In maldives there is no mainland but manland
I think in this six minute video that was shot almost entirely in public places I saw maybe six women. Haha male island.

I love the Maldives. Beautiful islands.
One of my favourite country..
Many bangladeshi lives in this country.....
Maximum are noakhali people's. .
Tnx a lot...
How do they get electricity on the islands? Where are the power plants? How do they generate electricity? Or do they use green energy like solar and wind?
Maldivians don't actually live in Malè they usually live in the other islands most of the people in Malè are Bangalis
why?
In Bangladesh the salary they give to them is too low so they come to other countries to get a job, they are nice ppl
And Malè is a popular one oh and most of yhem know Dhivehi (Maldivian language)
Nope. The majority of Maldivians live in Male'.
But yeah, bangladeshis have also infested this place. Like 1/3 of Male' is bangladeshis
BONDU
It's better to have vacation in Boracay than this over populated island 😥
This is just the capital. Tourists usually will be redirected to Maldives' other more pristine and less populated islands.
There are two thausand islands in maldives. ..this is only the capital...and this is the second world's most densely populated city after Tokyo

Is it legal to ride a bike without helmet in Maldives >
+Muhammad Ameen Yes, you can ride bike or moto with no helmet!
CTL OnTheLine That's absurd to say the least!!!
Ameen Butt hello is not big city
It's a small island city. So no helmets needed at all.
nobody wears helmets in Holland
last time I visited Male in 2010 just 5 years difference with this footage was taken, look like becomes more crowded....I can't imagine how about nowadays....
Now there is a bridge connected to hulhumale' ( neighbouring city). Kind of evens out congestion.
Wow Nice Maldives..Love Philippines
Really

Nice to see it, I was there in ‘88 and it was sparse, low level buildings and pretty basic. It looks like any Asian city now.
Well at least it's clean. Just came back from India and i think India should learn from Male since it's overcrowded yet clean.
Compare this to Monaco, where did they go wrong??
Nice video.....very well captured
Where is the airport ???
on another island
I expect this place would cleaner than singapore, but sadly it looks like ordinary.
It looked similar with Hong Kong densely populated city!Why reclamation of sea please told Hong Kong government!?
I love this country is very beautiful country
i dnt see why they need cars, even bikes on a tiny spect of land like this! i come frm an island the same size frm the Pacific islands & we dnt have cars there. everything is a walking distance.
sending love and respect from Pakistan..looks really beautiful place with beautiful people. would love to see it one day IA.
Beautiful 🇲🇻 from 🇮🇩
Nice,how dey ma.ages sewerage system? Problem here boracay
Ok it's beautiful, but I already feel claustrophobic!!
not rlly but that is actually true. Any claustrophobic person will die the moment they get out of their house includes night time.
How is the crime rate over there???
Beautiful Country .......... Maldives
Looks like a fun place to explore for a day or two
Craig K
Craig K it's so small
I’m maldivian you can do it in a few hours :)
Maldives consists of many islands, that's just the capital city (one of the many islands)
sasuke3690 who would spend just couple hours just to visit maldives capital city wtf (country to country trasportation)
I live in male maldives and when I was born I thought every country looked like this until I when I was 7 I saw other countries.
Greetings from Vanuatu
Interesting place
what is the title of this music?
At least you can play on the beautiful beach everywhere free n everyday
Only on the local islands and resorts. not the capital. its too polluted.
It is not Maldives, it is called Malai thivu means garland islands, the English people pronounced as Maldives, and also Anda man, Nakavarm has Nichobar, Nakavaràm means people without dress, this was ruled by Raja Raja and Rajendra Cholas.
Fuck you , I will still call it Maldives😂

Seriously, why do they even need a car in such a small Island... I wish I were there.
Mostly laziness. And even though Male’ is small, when u are there it seems pretty big. And it’s boiling hot here.
Why so many cars and motorcycles? I believe most can walk to wherever they want to go.
WOW, try to Quarantine in that city.
Other south asian countries should learn from Maldives to maintain cleanliness
Wow, almost 100,000 people on such a small island!
@Khadeeja Niuma No. The island of Malé = 93,000, the whole City of Malé (incl. the islands around Malé) 123,000, the state of Maledives =300,000 !

no
I visit maldives ......nice to travel but the climate is totally different some time rain some time hot
This island was green island and rich in forest, now its turned techno sphere...
2018 a lot has developed update this now there are cars and a lot has changed....plus thete is a artificiall beach.and a bridge .This is in 2015.
Wow this place is so small. It begs the question why there are so few bicycles.

Hi, friend. Hopefully Maldives stays safe. Do not let a tsunami occur like in our country like in Aceh and Palu.
A tsunami did occur in 2004 in the Maldives
Thanks a lot for the video. :)
Male city?
Where can I stay cheaply on a Maldives island scuba dive in brilliant dive location??
The resort's are a rip off
Nice city like from Bangladesh ♥️🇧🇩😍
Is is true that hotel jobs pay up to 1250usd
1,250 USD = 19,300 Maldivian curruncy.
Some jobs like pilots recieve 30,000.
Sorry if any spelling is incorrect.
Small but outstanding👌👌👌

Are they native indian???

Well I am very confident that the island where Male is and also other islands in Maldives will sink and disappear when water level rises.
