Garments to Electronics
In case you do tire of the amazing beaches and reefs of Malé - and that's well nigh impossible - head for the Majeedhee Magu, and jostle with the locals for your slice of the bargain pie.
Fish Products
They make for a great souvenir, a taste of Maldives to carry back home. Canned tuna, Vacuum packed smoked fish and chipped dried fish are popular picks.
The Local Market
Sample a variety of local vegetables, fruits and yams, packets of sweetmeat, nuts and breadfruit chips, bottles of home made sweets and pickles and bunches of bananas hanging on coir ropes from ceiling beams.
Souvenirs
On the Chaandhanee Magu street running from north to south of the city, you'll come across Singapore Bazaar, a treasure trove of local and imported souvenirs. Best buys include the 'thudu kuna' the Maldivian mat woven with local natural fibers, or the wooden miniature 'dhonis'. Do remember that export of products made of turtle shell, black coral, pearl oyster shell and red coral is prohibited at the customs.
