(Gratisnummer, Mo-Fr 9-12 Uhr & 13.30-18.30 Uhr) Seite 3 von 10 Informationen zur Destination Malediven Die Malediven – ein einzigartiges Ferienparadies, das sämtliche Wünsche erfüllt und den Alltagsstress vergessen lässt. Es ist Liebe auf den ersten Blick beim Anflug auf die Atolle mit ca. 2'000 Inseln im Indischen Ozean, deren weisse Sandstrände mit sattgrünen Palmwipfeln von türkisfarbenem Wasser umspült werden. Wie herrliche Juwelen erscheinen die Inseln im tiefen Blau des Indischen Ozeans, in den unterschiedlichsten Formen und oft umgeben von wunderschönen Korallenriffen. Ob zum Schnorcheln oder Tauchen, Segeln, Windsurfen, Baden, Sonnen oder einfach zum "Ruhe und Frieden finden" - das Inselparadies der Malediven bietet Ferien für jeden Geschmack. Ferienorte Lhaviyani Atoll Das Lhaviyani Atoll liegt in der östlichen Hälfte der Malediven, nördlich des Nord-Malé-Atolls. Feriengäste sollten sich nicht verwirren lassen, denn dieser Bereich des Inselreichs wird auch Lhaviyani-Atoll genannt. Wie so häufig auf den Malediven erfolgt die Anreise per Wasserflugzeug zu einer der insgesamt 5 bewohnten Inseln, was für sich genommen bereits ein einmaliges Erlebnis ist. Zusammen mit den unbewohnten Inseln ergibt sich ein Bilderbuchatoll auf insgesamt knapp 700 Quadratkilometern, wie es auf vielen Postkarten zu finden ist. Neben erholsamen Tagen an weissen Traumstränden erwartet Gäste des Lhaviyani Atolls auch eine farbenprächtige Unterwasserwelt, die sich ideal zum Tauchen eignet. Besondere Highlights hierbei sind die beiden Schiffswracks, die nahe Kuredu Island liegen. Das Wrack der „Skipjack II“ ragt sogar mehrere Meter aus dem Wasser, vervollständigt die einmalige Kulisse und dient auch von Kuredu Island aus als unvergessliches Fotomotiv. Raa Atoll Das westlich gelegene Raa Atoll besteht aus insgesamt 82 Inseln, wovon derzeit 15 bewohnt sind. Viele von ihnen erwarten Besucher mit wundervollen Resorts, tollen Tauchspots und jeder Menge Traumstrände. Zu den grössten Inseln des Raa Atolls, soweit man auf den Malediven von grossen Inseln sprechen kann, gehören unter anderem Alifushi, Dhuvaafaru oder Maduvvaree. www.itscoop.ch 0800 888 678 ITS Coop Travel, 2021. Alle Rechte vorbehalten. (Gratisnummer, Mo-Fr 9-12 Uhr & 13.30-18.30 Uhr) Seite 4 von 10 Informationen zur Destination Auf Ifuru befindet sich ein Flughafen, der von Malé aus angeflogen werden kann. Von hier aus geht die Anreise meist per Speedboat zu der jeweiligen Trauminsel weiter. Genau wie in einigen anderen Teilen der Malediven finden sich im Raa Atoll die traumhaften, charakteristischen Resorts, bei denen die Bungalows an einem Steg mitten im Meer liegen. Auf den Hauptinseln Ungoofaaru und Alifuschi finden Besucher ausserdem eine gute Auswahl an Infrastruktur, beispielsweise aus Cafés, Restaurants, Geschäften oder Bankhäusern. Im Mittelpunkt eines Aufenthalts stehen jedoch immer weisse Pulverstrände, Ruhe und vollendetes Feriengefühl! Baa Atoll Nordwestlich von Malé erwartet das Baa Atoll seine Feriengäste. Dieser Teil der Malediven war lange Zeit nicht für Touristen erschlossen, was sich in der scheinbar unberührten Natur widerspiegelt. Einsame, nicht bewohnte Inseln und eine spektakuläre Unterwasserwelt sind die Highlights dieser Region, die aus insgesamt 75 einzelnen Inseln besteht. Grosse Meeresschildkröten oder eindrucksvolle Manta-Rochen finden sich hier genauso wie kleine, bunte Fische und tolle Korallenriffe. Das Baa Atoll ist sehr weitläufig, weshalb sich Feriengäste auf Wunsch definitiv nicht „auf die Füsse treten“. Kajak- oder Motorbootausflüge auf verlassene Inseln bieten ein einzigartiges Robinson Crusoe-Feeling und sind ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, das bei keinem Besuch fehlen sollte. Trotz der Abgeschiedenheit gibt es im Baa Atoll neben einigen traumhaften Hotels und Resorts erstaunlicherweise auch einen Inlandsflughafen. Dieser befindet sich auf Daravandhoo und ermöglicht Feriengästen einen unkomplizierten Transfer von Malé in lediglich rund 45 Minuten. Das Atoll zählt noch zu den am wenigsten überlaufenen Regionen der Malediven und ist daher ein echter Tipp! Ari Atoll Das Ari Atoll befindet sich im Westen der Malediven. Es zählt mit 105 einzelnen Inseln zu den grössten und meistbevölkerten Inselgruppen des Landes. Aufgrund seiner Grösse wird dieses Atoll grob in das Nord-Ari-Atoll und das Süd-Ari-Atoll aufgeteilt. Es ist eine der beliebtesten und am besten erschlossenen Ferienregionen der Malediven. Das Atoll ist bei Gästen seit vielen Jahren für seine traumhaften, luxuriösen Hotel- und Resortanlagen bekannt. In den wundervollen Unterkünften der einzelnen Inseln erwarten Feriengäste zahlreiche Tauchmöglichkeiten, Wellnessangebote,

  • History of Giraavrau Island
    History of Giraavrau Island According to tradition and the claims of the Giraavaru people, they were the ancient owners and rulers of the Maldives. Then a visiting foreign prince (Koimala Kalo) and his entourage asked for and were given their permission to settle on the neighboring island of Male''. Giraavaru island was much bigger, housing magnificent buildings and temples in those days, as the surrounding lagoon still testifies. Changing weather patterns gradually eroded the bulk of the island, which was once the capital of a proud and civilized people. Giraavaru island is on the western side of the lagoon of North Male' Atoll. It is not clear whether or not Giraavaru was its original name. Giraa means 'eroding' in the Maldivian language. It was thought that the island was called Giraavaru because it was gradually being eroded away into the sea. It is quite possible that the name proceeded the word. Indeed the word 'giraa' may have been coined as a result of the natural calamity that was claiming an important island. Giraavaru woman Overtaken by Immigrants The descendants of the foreign settlers soon took advantage of the environmental plight of the Giraavaru people and subjected them to their rule. Until the twentieth century, the Giraavaru people displayed recognisable physical, linguistic and cultural differences to the rest of the Maldive islanders. Social Differences The most celebrated difference was that while the rest of the Maldive islanders were polygamous according to Islamic custom, and boasted the highest divorce rate in the world, the Giraavaru people were strictly monogamous and did not permit divorce.

  • An Archaeological Study of the Maldive Islands
    An Archaeological Study of the Maldive Islands: Investigating the Islamic Period Settlements Shiura Jaufar Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia 2019 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognize that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis presents an archaeological investigation of the remote Indian Ocean islands of the Maldives during the medieval Islamic period, through the excavation of three selected sites. The importance of the Maldives in medieval Indian Ocean trade networks, due to their geographical position at a crucial transit point and their exportation of cowry shell money (Monetaria moneta), is well known. However, these islands have received limited archaeological research, and that has focused largely on the pre-Islamic period. An archaeological study is important because the existing historical sources are on the whole relatively late and there has been a tendency to extrapolate them uncritically to earlier periods. Moreover, the Maldivian archaeological heritage faces various threats from development and environmental issues. Therefore, with the aim of documenting heritage at risk and filling some of the existing gaps in knowledge, the research is underpinned by four objectives: (1) investigating the landscape history and archaeology of the Islamic period in the Maldives; (2) creating a detailed typology of the pottery excavated; (3) examining the extent of intra-regional differences in the material culture; and, (4) shifting the focus away from the capital Male’ towards the poorly studied rural islands.

  • Chapter 1: Introduction
    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction This research contributes to the study of the architectural heritage of Maldives focusing on an important part of the architectural heritage: the architecture of the ancient coral stone mosques of Maldives. It identifies the surviving mosques, their state of condition, the influences to their evolution, and establishes a typology in terms of architectural features. The research contributes to improve the protection and management of the surviving coral stone mosques, by raising awareness about the uniqueness and condition of the mosques among the communities and stakeholders who influence future decisions. The aim of the research is to define an important part of the architectural heritage of Maldives through enhancing knowledge of coral stone mosques. The coral stone mosques are a type of tropical mosque found throughout the Maldives, with the surviving ones built between 1403 and 1815. They are made using shaped and decorated interlocking 'porite' coral stone blocks and an ancient assembly technique that is extinct now. The architecture of the mosques is influenced by many Indian Ocean cultures. The first objective of the research is to identify surviving coral stone mosques and collect information about them including their present state of condition. The second objective is to identify the influences in the evolution of the architecture of the mosque. The final objective is to identify the common features and establish the architectural typology of these mosques. 1 1.2 Background Maldives, inhabited for at least 3000 years and located in the center of the Indian Ocean is well known in the history of maritime travel in the Indian Ocean and is famous for its ancient Cowry shell trade.

  • Migrants and the Maldives: African Connections
    CHAPTER EIGHT MIGRANTS AND THE MALDIVES: AFRICAN CONNECTIONS Shihan de Silva Jayasuriya* Abstract Asian migrants have left an indelible imprint on Divēhi, the language of the Maldives. The Islamic wave that swept in with the rising Arab trade, washed over the Maldives. Forms of music and dance reveal cultural contact with other Indian Oceanic peoples. African migrants have intro- duced a form of music which has become popular in the Maldives. By considering historical accounts and oral traditions, this paper demonstrates how African culture spilt into the Maldives. Introduction The Maldives is a part of an Indian Ocean maritime economy and migration is an essential part of the overall activities that take place. This is the consequence of its geographic location, but it is also refl ected in the economy. Diversity makes the Maldives a special case in the Indian Ocean, but it also complicates the analysis of Maldivian culture. Consisting of 1,190 islands in total, the Maldives are situated in the Indian Ocean, southwest of Sri Lanka. These islands are in an area 470 miles long and 70 miles wide. There are 300,000 Maldivians today who call their country Divēhi Rajje which means ‘Island Kingdom’ in their language Divēhi. These coral islands are geological formations and each has a distinct name. For administrative purposes, these are grouped into 20 Atolls. Today, the main income generator for the Maldives is tourism. The Maldivians have ensured that the tourists do not upset their way of * Department of Portuguese & Brazilian Studies, King’s College London, University of London, London WC2R 2LS, England.

  • Pre-Islamic Maldives
    PRE-ISLAMIC MALDIVES by Naseema Mohamed Abstract Maldives is a small country, a double string of coral islands, none of which are very large. Nevertheless, in spite of its small size, the country has been populated for well over 2000 years. With research and archaeological excavations, the ancient history of the islands is at last coming to light. The language of the Maldives, Dhivehi, is of Indic origin, the people are of different ethnicities, perhaps because of the strategic position of the islands, almost in the centre of the most travelled routes in the Indian Ocean. Ships called at the Maldives, stopping over during the stormy days of the monsoon, on their way to the East and on the return journey. Trading ships also called at the islands, bartering their goods for cowries, ambergris, tortoise shells, fish and coir rope. Some of the industries of the islands were fishing, rope- making, weaving, boat building and coconut cultivation. Maldives converted to Islam in 1153 A.D. Recent archaeological evidence proves that until the advent of Islam, the Buddhist religion had existed in the country. Buddhist relics and ruins of monasteries have been found in many islands. Additional evidence of a Buddhistic past was found in late 12 th century copperplate grants, translated in the 1980’s. The islands had their own customs and culture. Ruled by their kings and queens for many centuries, the islands seem to have remained an independent kingdom through most of its known history. Maldives had its own system of rule, which seemed to have been suitable to the geographical setting of this unique archipelago.

We’ve got women on the Supreme Court bench and for the first time in the country’s history we have introduced a Temporary Special Measure by reserving 33% of the seats in the local councils for women.

  • Maldives Music
    Maldives Music The Maldives, being a sea-faring island nation, has since time immemorial been open to different cultural influences. Such influences especially from maritime cultures of countries bordering the Indian Ocean, such as east Africa, southern India, the Arab world, as well as Malaysia and Indonesia are clearly found in the Maldivian music. But centuries of environmental and social effects have created a mix which ex- presses the life style of Maldivians, their hopes and their aspirations. This type of music is regarded by everyone as a very indigenous element of the true Maldivian culture. The folk dance and music which we see and hear today are only art of the wider range of music played by the old Maldivians. Boduberu Bodu Beru is similar to some of the songs and dances found in east Africa. It is likely that the music was introduced to The Maldives by sailors from the Indian Ocean region. It may be said that Bodu Beru known commonly as "Baburu Lava" (Negroid Song) first made an appearance in The Maldives in the 11th Century AD, or maybe before. Bodu Beru is performed by about 15 people, including three drummers and a lead singer. They are ac- companied by a small bell and an "Onugandu" - a small piece of bamboo with horizontal grooves, from which raspy sounds are produced by scrapping. The songs may be of heroism, romance or satire. The prelude to the song is a slow beat with emphasis on drumming, and dancing. As the song reaches a cres- cendo, one or two dancers maintain the wild beat with their frantic movements ending in some cases in a trance.
