When you think of the Maldives, you might think of crystal clear waters, golden sand bars, and water bungalows. But this country is so much more than its association with luxury tourism. This country is also home to devout Muslims who take Ramadan very seriously, and it's just a perk that they get to experience this holy month in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
