Unfortunately, there are no museums in Fonadhoo itself. However, if you're willing to travel a bit, you can visit the Maldives National Museum in the capital city of Male, which is about 117 kilometers (73 miles) away. The museum has a collection of artifacts and exhibits that showcase the history and culture of the Maldives. Other nearby islands such as Maamigili and Dhangethi also have museums that you could consider visiting.
One of the most popular and traditional dishes in Maldives, including Fonadhoo, is "Garudhiya" which is a clear fish broth that is typically served with steamed rice, chili, and lime. Another popular dish is "Mas Huni," which is a breakfast dish made from smoked tuna, grated coconut, onions, and chili, usually eaten with flatbread called "roshi."
Other common dishes in Fonadhoo and the Maldives include:
- "Bis keemiya": a savory pastry filled with spiced vegetables or meat
- "Fihunu mas": grilled fish, often served with rice and vegetables
- "Rihaakuru": a thick paste made from boiled fish, often used as a condiment or flavoring agent
- "Kulhi boakibaa": a type of seasoned fish cake, often served as a snack or appetizer
Note that seafood is a staple food in the Maldives, so many traditional dishes tend to feature fish, crab, and other types of seafood.
Some fun activities that local people in Fonadhoo enjoy include fishing, snorkeling, and beach picnics. You could join a fishing trip with locals to catch fresh seafood, go snorkeling to explore the colorful marine life, or simply relax on the beach and enjoy a picnic with friends and family.
