- This is the most densely populated city in the world! The city and island of Male in the Maldives. There is a lot of different information about how many people live on Male and Hulumale but it says a total of 250.000 people on several surveys. I had recently arrived at the airport in the Maldives and stayed in a hotel on the north island. Today I would take the bus to the south Island an explore all of Male.

Excellent content. I'm a Maldivian and you have captured the city life of Maldives quite well. BUT, this is not the Maldives the world knows. The real Maldives is outside these two cities. You will love the people, the beauty of Islands and ofcourse great snorkeling experience (not so warm). Waiting for your next video. Enjoy your time in Maldives
Me too
I'm from hulhumale
Salam from morocco
I'm currently in Maldives in malahini Kuda bandos and this has to be the nicest place I ever visited. The people are so nice, they don't trick you into anything, what you see is what you get. unlike most other countries iv visited. They know how to make your trip special. Make sure you get an all inclusive package because it's not cheap over here
@@NK-fl5lh I just went there last week that place was so nice
Never gets old watching such a sweet soul and his adventures around the world! Thanks for all the great content William.
Oh thanks for that! Really nice of you
I'm a sri lankan and I worked in Maldives for Enzi bakery in hulhumale for couple of years, I really enjoyed my stay working in Maldives and the people of Maldives are very helpful and kind and they help all the EXPATRIATES with whole heart. Thank you to all Maldivians. 🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻

I’m so happy for you to travel to all these places . That man was so kind , it reminds me of the Mexicans . I love how you smile even when things are not working out 😉then again how could you not smile when you can swim 🏊♂️
Very cool. I have never seen Maldives. Definitely different than I would have expected. The city is quite modern. AND THEY HAVE CHIPS!!
Next video should be good :)

Hope there is also room for nature and SPECIALLY the birds,,,
Wooooooowwww! That drone shot of all the tall buildings and all the blue water amazes me ! Thank you for sharing !:)
Tha ka for watching!
Its been 25 years since my last trip to the Maldives ! Cannot believe how it has changed, but still beautiful, thank you for showing it to us.
I'm so happy you share your adventures. I can't travel but feel like I am with your videos...Happy travels!
. The Maldives is not what I expected so far so can’t wait for your next posting.
Truly hope that you get more and more subscribers as your videos are so very interesting. All the best. Take care.
Thanks :)
Please do not generalize the Maldives, just because of Male island. Maldives is a country with more than 1190 islands. There are also about 200 islands that are like local village islands. Most of the islands are not crowded like this. What happened to Male would have happened to any other country if it was like islands. Imagine if London was an island. As the population grew it, it expanded as there was land. In the case of Male, it is an island that was not able to expand. The island of Hulhumale is an artificial island that was reclaimed in order to lessen this pressure. Before about 15 years it was a reef with no island. If we want to compare other small island countries, usually their islands are larger than the islands in Maldives. For example Rodriguez in Mauritius. The reason why Male became crowded is due to development of tourism in the 1970s. That time there was only one international airport. So the tourism started with islands near Male. The concept in Maldives tourism ws like one island - one resort concept. But on these islands it was exclusively for tourism, and no local settlements were allowed. In fact, most of those islands were also small. During that time time transportation was not easy. So many resort workers brought their families to Male. Banking was only available in Male. As the tourism industry grew, and needed more employees, more families from rural areas migrated. The cottage industries in rural areas declined. I don't know why, but i felt quite sad by reading your comment.
Thanks William for putting a clip of me on this video ,hope to see more content from you cheers and best of luck from Maldives 🇲🇻❤️
Excited to see so much from this paradise.
Next video will be nice!
@@williamtaudien almost all tourists to Maldives do not go to Male.. Outer islands are where tourists generally visit!!
Yes its very crowded. But what i love to this country is the people and even though its crowded the place is very safe ! I can assure you with that!
I am Maldivian and thank you for telling others about our country

So great to see this video. You have been busy in the Maldives. Thanks for updating your travels

Very informative video. Learned a lot about Make and look forward to seeing more of the Maldives. Also, good to see that locals helped you out. 👍🏽👍🏽
You keep taking us to some of the most beautiful places on earth Thankyou William
Thanks for watching and being part of it! I appreciate it
We missed you! Glad 2 c another awesome video!
Oh love this! I've always wondered what the Maldives is like!! Can't wait to see more!!!
Nice video. It is good to see you enjoying Male, William. Your spirit of travelling is within you. Thanks for taking us to another beautiful place.🙏 Safe travels.🌴🌷☀️
Sunday funday - new content!!! Thanks for starting my day with great success!!!
Thanks for your comment. Great success :D
Really enjoyable video. You have quite an optimistic outlook about our city, albeit it's clear flaws. It was nice to see. Hulhumalé is so peaceful, i love everything about it. Never going to Malé unless necessary. Looking forward for more videos about our local side. :)
Good video William! Thanks for showing us the local downtown scene! Based on what you show us and post, I will plan my trip to go there!! Thanks again! Cheers!!
We loved your video to Mali in the Maldives! So clean and beautiful. Can’t wait to see more!!
Very interesting video 👍I can't wait to see the next one .Everything looks really cool. Thanks for sharing and take care bro 👏😁✌
Thanks!
interesting to see the city life in the maldives, never seen before. always love your drone shots william. keep up the good work, fingers crossed to reach your goal for 100k subs👍🤞
Thanks :)
My Girl Friend and I have been talking about the Maldives, so this video was very educational and fun at the same time. Thank you for bringing us along.
Hi William. I enjoyed watching this video. Very clear + simple straightforward style, which good for us see how is Maldives capital city looks like. Thank you very much brother! Keep it up.
Again William, Enjoyed your video... You are so brave to venture to so many countries.. Looking forward to next time !
Thanks :)
Love your videos! This video really captures the other side of the Maldives which is usually luxury resorts. Thanks for showing that there really is another side to this island nation and that its people are nice and caring.
Further to my comment: I have been to the Maldives 2 times, many tourists like myself usually bypass Male and go straight to the resorts. Many tourists are very apprehensive about staying in Male if they have a late flight and cannot catch their seaplane transfer or catching a very early International departing flight. I think William’s video will show that it is perfectly fine to stay in Male and that locals will extend the same courtesy and respect you show them. I will be recommending this video to others who are apprehensive about staying in Male.
Thanks yes I had no idea of this either
Omg thanks for visiting my country! I hope you enjoyed every single second here!!! ❤️
What a nice guy on the bike … refused to take any money and seemed genuine
Never been to the Maldives but it is so beautiful and the water has a turquoise color. It looks like paradise! I wish I was there to enjoy that wonderful part of the world. Can't wait to see your next videos, thank you.
Thanks :)

Thank you for another great video. I love your drone shots.. so pretty!!
Thank you for watching another one :)
Lot of us live vicariously thru you William. Thank you for being so persistent, resilient and purposeful. You bring so much joy and laughter my friend. 👏👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad to hear this thank you very much!
Perfect timing! Maldives here I come...Thx William.
I'm so glad you are doing alright, William. I heard about the thousands of flight delays around the world & wondered if you were stranded somewhere... Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us. I feel bad for you when you seem to feel so alone. Hopefully you realize you have thousands of friends with you! 😁😊😎😄😁😀🙂🤗😘😉😁
Thanks no I'm fine:)
actually the biggest island is not male : )
it looks like the biggest because of the buildings and crowded people but actually there are bigger islands.
And also love this video. As a Maldivian i feel very joyed that you have shared this amazing content and i hope you have more and more successful travels!
Keep it up!
Who said it was the biggest? He said it’s the crowdest island in the world and it is.
Hello William. Thanks for another very interesting video. You are showing me countries that I may never see so thank you. I hope you reach 100,000 subscribers because your sure deserve it!
Thank you :) hopefully soon!
Thank you William, for showing us the city, and the accommodation, the local store, market, apartemens, buildings , Bus and those ticket, and those hospitality people ( locals) there, so we can learning from your video, your videos showing differences from Im reading about male, maledives situation, I think I can enjoy leaving there. Well see you soon maldives 🇲🇻
Im from Maldives 🇲🇻❤️! Thank you for visting Maldives!🇲🇻❤️ Welcome to each of everyone who visits Maldives!🇲🇻❤️ Lots of love from Maldives!🇲🇻❤️(This is not the Maldives people knows! If you want to see the paradise of Maldives its outside it as one commet said!)🇲🇻❤️
Where is outside ? Please elaborate I will be visiting soon 😊
Love your videos as always William!
Glad you like them! thanks!
Nice video William! You really captured the sort of hectic energy that goes into real travel and exploration.
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing the island that aren't so crowded. It seems like the people there are great. Safe travels!
Thanka for watching!
cheers William, Ive been away a while and here you are in the Maldives. life is good
Welcome back :D
Have only seen pics of Maldives resorts, so this was an eye opener. I never imagined it would be so crowded with people. I remember fondly the vacations of my youth on the Mozambique coast and the warm Indian ocean.
Yeah social media doesnt ahow the "bad" parts
Ya I live here it's crowded but still quite peaceful on Fridays
i live in male and yes i do think that male isnt what people will be thinking of when they think maldives.
its always the islands and white sandy beaches on the internet
This is what the overcrowded capital looks like. The real Maldives is outside those cities. The small islands and the resorts are what you see on pictures.

Maldivian here.. like your video. you got a new subscriber 👍🏽
Your use of a drone is second to none. All your videos have it, Thanks. Maldives looks like a nice place to visit. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you
Soooo cool 😎
Looking forward to so much more of your adventures 😁🤗
Thanks
I am from the Maldives and I loved this video. You should try some local Maldivian food next time and I suggest you visit one of the local islands. It’s so different from Malé City.
Excited with Your superb and detailled Videos. Amazing!!!!
Thanks!
Excellent video - great work , William !!! Maldives is a big adventure - thank-you for the amazing info of this beautiful hot vacation destination !!! Looking forward to more excellent video from the beaches of Maldives !!! 👍

i hope you visit other local islands too! it's a whole different life from the city, i'm from Fuvahmulah the southern most island, one atoll and one island. so life is very peaceful around here and you'll probably love it as well, hopefully you can also visit other islands and experience the lifestyle of the locals too. Loved your video and wishing you the best!
Hi you are as always so funny and great many thanks for sharing your adventures with the world please keep up the good travel all the best.
Thank you! Will do!
The funny Swedish Sheep, William smile and laugh, Greattttt Successsss !!!! Pooool tricksssss lololllll
Ooooh these are going to be really great episodes!
Yap went through the same experience when I was trying to buy the bus card too 😂 Couldn't find the shop , but the card is super convenient
Anyways thanks you for making such a wonderful video of our city
You should visit a local island next time it's a different life and a unique experience🇲🇻
Masha Allah, I didn't know that Maldives would be that much beautiful. It's absolutely amazing. Would love to visit this someday. Lots of love from Pakistan.
Pretty cool William, can't wait for the next video. did we test the beds in Maldives? Have fun
Yes I will test many lol
Maldives is on my bucket list. Thanks for the preview 🌸
Thanks more to come!
Man I watch your videos endlessly that’s an adventure every time thanks 🙏
Hey William, well done!
Appears to be a pretty developed and well maintained city.
Well maintained? That really depends on where you go, certainly the pretty parts are well maintained
Developed yes. You'll find everything you need. Hulhumale is a pretty new island (unlike Male) and therefor still well maintained. Male is very different and very crowded and a lot of roads are in a very bad state.
Find the real maldives somewhere outside, you should see.
"developed" is a western way of saying "like us" this term is offensive to the east side (I'm from England btw not Maldives). When they aren't like us we see them as less developed. Egypt built pyramids so perfect we can't do that in our "developed" countries till this day with all these machines. I hope I don't offend you but rather educate. Have a good day & be great
@@NK-fl5lh very true. the western tend to think we live in huts or something
To the next level. Appreciate what your doing. ..
Proud to be Maldivian 💗💗💗💗💗
Beautiful drone images of Male. First time I'm seeing how packed the island is
Glad you got over that Habib Bank ATM nightmare- they should not be allowed to swallow your card- rejecting your card is one thing but keeping it is a whole different thing. This video is great, Big Guy. Cheers
Haha yeah that bank was strange lol !
That 🍔 looks so good.
Great video… the water is beautiful there! Keep the videos coming!! I hope you hit 100k soon!!
Thanks!!
Very interesting place the Maldives! Looking forward to your next adventures!
This place is way too crowded for me, it’s sad to see that such a small island is so overpopulated, most nature is gone… The ocean however is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this videos William.
Yeah it happens to nice places and as population increases
Visit the local Islands, u can experience the Maldives at it's best.
visit islands other than Male. if you want somewhere not too rural but not overcrowded, Addu is better to visit. it's the other city we have.
source: I'm a local lol.
Yeah im a maldivean and yeah male ia very crowded but the out of Maldives is the heaven!🇲🇻❤️
@@Yeng0 I notice exactly that on William’s following videos.
Love your content brother please take care

@@williamtaudien absolutely brother
Thanks for the nteresting perspective on my country and an enjoyable video.
Thank you for sharing the Maldives incredible William sooo incredible definitely a future trip 😘🇨🇦
Maldives always amazes me, it's a small Island, flat but then it's so developed and advanced, how fascinating is that. It's a lot more crowded than any other small islands. It's such an amazing place to develop such landscapes like this. Incredible 🤗👍
czcams.com/video/Y47c1bfAK7E/video.html
Since it's extremely small, nothing special in being developed.
Smaller countries are more developed
The water temp here seems to be as in Tel Aviv, Israel where you just don't get to freshen up at all, it is always at least 28 C in the summer. The only difference, in the Maldives it *seems* cooler when you look at it due to its crystal color. The little islands will be more to your taste, I think. See you there! :=)
Yeah the island are dry nice and not crowded!
So nice to see your travels,, thank you William :)
Thanks for watching!
Great video William.
Looks great!
Thanks!
If you are looking for an immersion into the Maldives culture and history, Maldives is great for visiting.
Yeah!
Maldives is like another Singapore which survived even with tiny lands. Maldives is the most developed , modern and most clean in whole South Asia. Good wish to Maldives from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Maldives is like a part of India
@@naturelover5449 Because of workers from India.
@@naturelover5449 It’s not
@@Takealookat123 no indian workers are less there. Most are bangladeshi.. Maldives culture similar to India
@@naturelover5449 dear, maldives is not a part of india. We are independent. Maldives has a different culture, ethnicity, religion and heritage to india or any other neighbouring country. The maldivian lifestyle, beliefs and values differ heavily, esecially to india. The closest cousins to the maldivian lineage in south asia is Sri Lanka. The Maldivian language 'dhivehi', was heavily influenced by Sinhala.
Really enjoyed this video! Just got back from the Maldives 🇲🇻 I cannot wait to go back,
I am from maldives and I appreciate how accurate this video is
This video taught me things that I never bothered learning as a local haha. The bus ticket thing was a complete mystery for me and I doubt many people bothered trying to figure it out because even now only a few people use the bus to travel between the islands as the main mode of transport is usually either the Ferry or the bridge on a motorcycle or a Taxi. Maybe next time I go to Hulhumale' I'll take the bus haha!
czcams.com/video/Y47c1bfAK7E/video.html
I prefer car
I’m also Maldivian btw
Pls go live w ur travels bc it's fun also specially when there're happenings like getting lost etc 🤣✌️
Great video good to know all you showed = now I must go there
Thanks
You’re such an adventurer. I loved this video. Too bad the ocean was so warm and the snorkelling wasn’t good. Keep on enjoying yourself.
Thanks :)
LOL! I had the same problem with not having a bus card in Colombia. Then, just as in your case, no one seemed to know where I could buy a card. So I stuck with the Metro train which accepted cash.
Haha yeah it is strange!
William, you should go to India next. Think you could get a lot of new subscribers then. Or Bangladesh maybe
I hope so. Yes Bombay!
I never thought it was so crowded Maldives, hugs William 🤗
Lollllll noooo jumping from that balcony ! I can see you really wanted to :) too funny
Haha yeah I wanted to
Absolutely stunning! I wonder if inflation is having any impact on the Maldives and if there is any issue with shortages of oil as in Sri Lanka (nearby). Cheers!
Good question I dont know actually!
not that much of a inflation actually.The economy is recovering from covid crisis,Food prices are only slightly high but thats because its ramadan and fuel prices only reached $0.70/liter, that was at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Its dropped again this month.
Actually we're most dependent on india for food so I'd say it's not effecting us at all
@@shabilrl3301 India does not give us free food. Well, we import food items from India as we do from other countries.

Greetings from 🇲🇽🇹🇷!
Hola. En que parte de Mexico
I enjoyed watching this video. I like your humor and glad you didn't jump from the restaurant deck and get scolded.
I love your videos, they are great and your are so fun and i love the places, my daughter is going to the Maldives for the second time and i don't think that she has been to Male, i cannot believe how crowded but it looks so modern! waiting for the next video
Thanks yes it is quite nice!
Thank you William, so sweet of you to reply!!
Malé most crowded city in the world? LOL… You need to see Dhaka (Bangladesh).
I’ve been to Malé, Maldives, and also Dhaka and many other cities in different parts of the world. Never seen any city as crowded as Dhaka:
Crowd-wise, Malé is nowhere near Dhaka.
Good video though.
Look up the definition of densely populated
@@williamtaudien Everyone knows what "densely populated" refers to.
The idea of “densely populated” deriving from theoretical density stat is NOT synonymous to “crowded”.
Even if we were to take those terms as synonymous, it still is not correct that Malé “CITY” is the most crowded “CITY” in the world, based on the following reasons:
As per density stat that offers an AVERAGE by dividing the total population by total area:
Malé Population Density:
27,180/sqkm
- vs -
Dhaka Population Density:
29,373/sqkm
Irrespective of certain lists that says Malé is the most densely populated, just by the above stat giving specific number, Dhaka as a whole (as opposed to Dhaka City) is more densely populated than Malé as a whole.
But, even more importantly as applied to the instant case as per your video title including the phrase “Most Crowded CITY” placing into issue “CITY”, we are not talking about Malé and Dhaka as a whole but the “CITY”.
The stat you are relying on, I’m sure, gives the population density based on entire Malé population divided by its entire area and the entire Dhaka population divided by entire Dhaka (as opposed to Dhaka CITY) area.
Because almost the entire Malé is the city, the stat gives a fairly correct average of the population density of Malé City.
But, when we are talking about CITY, the stat doesn’t give the correct picture of the population density of Dhaka City because:
1. the entire Dhaka is NOT the city while, out of the total Dhaka’s area of 1497 sqkm, only 306 sqkm is the area of Dhaka city, and
2. The vast majority of whole Dhaka’s 22,478,000 population live in Dhaka City.
Accordingly, the population density AVERAGE of Dhaka as a whole does not reflect the population density in Dhaka City.
Given that we are talking about City, 19.5 million people live in Dhaka “CITY” that has the area of 306.4 sqkm.
- Now do your math to figure out whether Malé City or Dhaka City is more densely populated.
Thanks.
No skipping ads folks 😅
What happens when you skip the ads? I’ve always wondered if it affects the CZcamsr that makes the videos in some way?
Good advice thanks haha
@@williamtaudien Does it affect you when we skip the ads?
Your recording makes me feel like I'm there. Thanks for sharing!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ William, great video work. I was in the Maldives at the "Diamonds Athuruaga" and it was magnificent. We took an Air Taxi Maldivian took us from Malé directly to the islands of Athuruga and Thudufushi in approximately 25 minutes. We fell in-love with that resort. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
Very nice yes I think the resorts are awesome ! How much did it cost ?
@@williamtaudien ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I wouldn't know, since it was a gift from an anesthesiologist colleague of mine. Having said that, all meals & drinks were included, plus entertainment. I'm enjoying viewing your videos which bring back great memories of the Maldives.
