Traveling the Maldives During Ramadan: My Best and Worst Decision

#scubadiving Visiting the #maldives during Ramadan was both a challenge and a blessing. On one hand, I scored incredibly cheap flights and hotels by booking early on Trip.com. On the other, I had to adapt to a very different pace of life. #postandearn During Ramadan, many local restaurants and cafés are closed during daylight hours, and ferries sometimes run on reduced schedules. Even buying snacks requires planning ahead. However, the upside was enjoying a quieter, more peaceful Maldives, with fewer tourists and uncrowded beaches. The evenings were magical. As the sun set, the islands came alive with locals breaking their fast. I got to try traditional Maldivian iftar dishes like mas huni and sweet coconut treats, which added a unique cultural layer to my trip. It was a mix of patience and reward—but with the money saved on flights and hotels, it felt completely worth it. Plan wisely with Trip.com, and Ramadan in the Maldives can become one of your most memorable adventures.
