• Maldives is the Flattest Country in the World
  The Maldives is, without a doubt, the flattest country in the world, with an average altitude of 1.8 metres from the sea level. The closest competitor to this claim is Qatar, with an average elevation of 28 metres. That is 26.2 metres more! The Maldives is truly flat. Actually, the highest point in the entire country is 2.3 metres, which is at a point in Villingili Island. ‍
• Maldives has a Strict Constitution
  According to the constitution of Maldives, only Muslims are allowed to be called citizens of the country. Any other faith apart from Islam is not allowed. ‍
• The Indian Connection of Maldives
  Another interesting fact about Maldives is that it was actually founded by an Indian prince who was sent to exile. Sometime around 270 BC, an Indian prince was sent from the kingdom of Kalinga as a punishment to run over the islands of Maldives. Sri Soorudasaruna Adeettiya is said to be the first king of the island, which was then called Dheeva Maari, and established the Adeetta Dynasty in the Maldives. ‍
• Maldives has a Different Weekend
  Unlike its western counterparts, the country of Maldives does not recognise Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, but Friday and Saturday. So don't be surprised when you see people working on a Sunday. ‍
• Maldives Base Religion
  Though established by an Indian king, Maldives adopted Islam in 1153 A.D. which now is the official religion of the country. This also means following laws pertaining to Islam. For example, no alcohol is allowed, with an exception to the resorts and clubs. ‍
• Maldivian Flag
  The Maldivian flag consists of a green rectangle in the middle with a crescent moon on it, enclosed by a red rectangle. The red is representative of the sacrifice of the people who lost their lives protecting the country, the green represents peace and prosperity and the crescent moon represents Islam. ‍
• White Beaches of Maldives
  The beaches of Maldives have white sand and not yellow. It is due to the fact that the sand on the beaches are made out of coralline, and not quartz, like other kinds of sand. This kind of sand is also very rare and constitutes just 5% of all the beaches in the world.
