You will find the international airport (on the island of Hulhule) and the capital Mal\u00e9. Mal\u00e9 is the smallest capital in the world and the island is almost literally bursting at the seams because of the limited space. Mal\u00e9 is the place where you will find the sights \u00a0 that the archipelago has to offer. The most imposing building in Mal\u00e9 is the Great Friday Mosque, a huge mosque where some 5,000 Muslims can go. Other attractions include the Presidential Palace and the National Museum in Sultan Park. But Mal\u00e9 is more than just beautiful buildings. For example, there is a vegetable, fruit and wood market where residents of other islands come together to sell their wares. There is also a fish market where freshly caught fish is traded at the end of the afternoon. In Mal\u00e9 it is also fantastic shopping; both souvenirs and electronics are not expensive. From the North or South Mal\u00e9 atoll you can easily take a day trip to the capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The North Mal\u00e9 Atoll has a length of 67 km and a width of 41 km.
