The REAL Maldives - Male City Vlog 🇲🇻

I went to Male, the capital city of the Maldives to show you the real life in this country. In this journey we go from the President's Palace to the Coral Reef Friday mosque, to the local and fish markets that had more Bangladeshis than I expected. We also check out a sick surfing spot in the corner of the city and the ferry and bus journey to and from Hulhumale next to Male
