Where is the geographical location of the Maldives?

South of India, an island country in the Indian Ocean.

To be precise, the Republic of Maldives (formerly known as the Maldives Islands, changed to its current name in April 1969) is located in South Asia. It is an island country in the Indian Ocean and consists of more than 1,200 small coral islands. 202 islands are inhabited.

Located near the equator, it has obvious tropical climate characteristics with no four seasons. The annual precipitation is 1900 mm, and the annual average temperature is 28°C.

The Maldives is the second smallest country in Asia and the largest coral island country in the world. The total area is 90,000 square kilometers (including territorial sea area), and the land area is 298 square kilometers. ***There are more than 1190 islands. The official language is Dhivehi, and English is commonly spoken in the upper class.

The Maldives uses Islam as its state religion. Pork is not eaten or alcohol is consumed on the residential islands. Women must wear body-covering long skirts when traveling, and men are not allowed to wear shorts. Foreign tourists do not need to abide by this rule in resort hotels, but when visiting local inhabited islands such as Male, they must do as the locals do. Most residents of the Maldives are devout Muslims who are polite, etiquette, simple and hospitable, and pray five times a day. The Islamic holiday on Friday is their weekly holiday, and shops, schools and public places will be closed on this day.
