Who knows the customs of Maldives?

Islam is the state religion in Maldives, and the islanders do not eat pork or drink alcohol. Women must wear long skirts, and men are not allowed to wear shorts. Foreign tourists don't have to abide by this rule in resort hotels, but when they arrive at the islands of local residents such as Male, they must do as the Romans do. Maldivian residents are mostly devout Muslims. They are polite, simple and hospitable, and pray five times a day. On Friday, Islamic Day is their weekly holiday, and shops, schools and public places will be closed on this day.

Maldives is a blend of rich and diverse cultures brought by maritime immigrants from all over the world in ancient times. Local traditional music and dance are deeply influenced by East African culture, such as drumming and music. In addition, influenced by South Asian culture, the local food culture is particularly prominent; Women in Maldives are different from isolationism generally adopted by countries in the South Asian subcontinent, but are active in major social activities. It can be seen in the government, army, police station and other organs in the capital Male. On other indigenous islands, men wander around the sea all the year round fishing for a living, while women play the role of caring for the young and the old. After all, in archipelagic countries, the ocean is the resource that aborigines depend on for survival all the year round, so marine people will naturally present the customs of this independent nation with marine culture.

Naked swimming is illegal in Maldives.
