Hukuru Miskiiy Mosque

The Malé Friday Mosque or the Malé Hukuru Miskiy, also known as the Old Friday Mosque is one of the oldest and most ornate mosques in the city of Malé, Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. Coral boulders of the genus Porites, found throughout the archipelago, are the basic materials used for construction of this and other mosques in the country because of its suitability. Although the coral is soft and easily cut to size when wet, it makes sturdy building blocks when dry. The mosque was added to the tentative UNESCO World Heritage cultural list in 2008 as unique examples of sea-culture architecture.

Knowledgeable guides.

Published on Jan, 2025

My guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He also answered my questions. about the culture as we toured. I learned a lot about Male and the Maldives.

Experiencing The Maldives beyond just tourist "Resort Islands"

Published on Jan, 2025

There were 3 other people on this tour and I booked solo. It was great to be in such a small group with local guide Ahmed, giving plenty of opportunity to ask questions, not only about what we were seeing, but other general questions about life in Malé. I had been to Male about 6 years ago but had seen absolutely nothing of this island as I'd gone off immediately to a resort island. This time I was determined to spend time here and was so glad I did.

Highly recommended. Flexible and very informational.

Published on Dec, 2024

Very friendly tour guide! They were very flexible and able to accomodate our tour even with a limited timeline between flights. We are very thankful for the experience and look forward returning to learn more about the Maldives. Highly recommended!

Great city immersion tour.

Published on Aug, 2024

Very knowledgeable tour guide. For$5US extra each way, picked up and dropped off at hotel (worth it, because we were on Hulhumale, a long way from meeting point. Oldest mosque on the island (1658) is built of hand engraved Interlocking coral blocks.

A Must Do experience!

Published on Aug, 2024

This is a must do experience to really understand the history of Male. The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and spent so much time explaining what we were seeing. The sites we visited were outstanding and some we would never have discovered by ourselves. And the snacks at the end gave a real taste of Maldivian food and a sense of place. I can not recommend this more highly.
