Our review

Hukuru Miskiy dates from the mid-1600s and is built from blocks of coral stone, intricately carved with Arabic script and patterns. Its cemetery holds the tombs of Maldivian royalty and nobility.

It sits in the centre of Male near the Islamic Centre and the Sultan Park, so you can see all three on a short walking tour.
