Tsunami Monument

Tsunami Monument, one of the Maldives' most historic structures, is among the top attractions in Male. This memorial was erected as a mark of respect and remembrance for those who lost their precious lives in the tragic tsunami disaster of 2004. It is more than just a basic monument; rather, it is a memorial because of the feelings it evokes.

The monument's visitors may easily read the names of the victims who lost their lives in this natural calamity because they are inscribed on the rods.

The tourists who come here can pay their respects to the people who lost their lives while also reflecting on how fleeting life is. It is a peaceful site with serene surroundings.

The monument is surrounded by 20 steel spheres that stand in for the Maldives' atolls, while the pillars stand in for the tsunami's waves. It is a must see location when you are in the Maldives and something you should not miss while traveling through this nation.

Visitors can pay their respects to those who lost their lives and think about how transitory life is while they are here. It is a serene location with calm surroundings.

Twenty steel spheres that represent the atolls of the Maldives surround the monument, and the pillars represent the waves of a tsunami. It is a must-visit place if you're in the Maldives, and you shouldn't skip it when exploring the country.

One of the most well-liked locations for snorkeling is the Maldives. Almost anywhere is a good place to snorkel, including from your hotel or on an excursion closer to the reef. The water is always between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius and has excellent visibility. Dolphins, reef sharks, hawksbill turtles, Napoleon squids, striped Snappers, bannerfish, manta rays, and beautiful coral plates may all be seen here.

December through April is the ideal time to visit the Maldives. It is the Maldives' peak tourism season and the dry season. During this season, the typical temperature fluctuates between 24 and 31 degrees Celsius. During this time, the 26 atolls of the Maldives have very little rainfall, clear skies, low humidity, and calm seas. Although the reef life is active and the underwater visibility is high from December to April, this is also the best period for sunbathing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Bring a bunch of beachwear, swimsuits, and a big tube of sunscreen.

The Maldives' wet or monsoon season, which lasts from May to November, is characterized by high humidity and sporadic heavy rains. Towards the end of April, the southwesterly monsoon winds arrive, and rainfall is more likely in the southern islands. Yet, the low-lying atolls are only briefly covered by the clouds. Due to the fact that it is off-season, costs are generally lower and there are fewer visitors to the resorts. Because of the larger waves and better swells, May through November is also the best time for surfing.
