Detailed coral carving stones. Amazing architecture. Should be listed as a world heritage venue. It should be preserved and look after properly.

In a relatively modern city this is a well-preserved piece of the past. As others have said non-Muslims can only view the outside and surrounding tombs, however even that gives you a sense of the history of the religion in the Maldives. Perhaps some further English explanations around the site might be helpful for visitors.
Really great for architecture lovers with coral carvings. But keep a dollar handy to pay the local who will try and usher you around for a quick buck. The graves are amazing and the place is real quite though no shade around.
This mosque was interesting but certainly doesn't compare to others in the Islamic world. I had to make sure to wear a long skirt and a tshirt so that I wouldn't offend when visiting the mosque.
While as a non-Muslim I could only see the outside of this mosque, it was still really interesting to look at this old, beautiful mosque and the tombs outside. The lighthouse looking minaret out the front is also very interesting.
Has an extremely quiet feeling. The tombs of nobles long past can be found, while the tomb of the recently late president of the Maldives, Ibrahim Nasir, is present. The garden is spectacular. However, the Pond is unclean and the water fountain, once extremely beautiful, has now fallen into disrepair.
Islam was introduced to the Maldives by a morrocan trader in the 12th century and his tomb now stands in the grounds of the Hukuru Miskiiy Moqsue, The Mosque itself has many inscriptions and looks tranquil amongst the hustle/bustle of Maale.
It's a very nice place to visit in Malé. I just would like to see the interior since it's forbidden for non-muslins.
An old- temple made of corals converted to a Mosque. Many tombs around, a must to see in the capital Male.
One of the oldest mosques in the Maldives which dates back to when Islam was first introduced. The mosque itself and the tombs around it are built entirely from corals! Has many writings and engravings on the wall. Some of them don't really make sense in Modern Arabic anymore. Recommend you visit this if you are in Male.
