Koagannu Cemetery,Maldives

• Historic tombstones and epitaphs — weathered stones bearing Arabic script and older inscriptions.
• Tranquil urban green space — a peaceful contrast to busy Malé streets.
• Close to Malé's heritage corridor — within easy reach of other landmarks and museums.

• Mixture of Islamic funerary markers and colonial-era influences visible in some gravestone styles.
• Patina and weathering that make the stones photogenic for heritage photography (respectful photography recommended).
• Compact layout typical of a dense capital-island cemetery.

• Short heritage walk and quiet reflection among historic grave markers.
• Photographing architectural details of tombstones (be mindful and respectful).
• Combining the visit with a walking tour of nearby Malé attractions.

Early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and to experience calmer moments in the city.

Tropical climate — hot and humid year-round. Southwest monsoon (May–October) brings heavier rains; northeast monsoon (November–April) is drier and often more comfortable for walking.

Generally free to visit as a public space. There are no formal opening hours, but visits are best during daylight. Respect any local signs or temporary restrictions.

Located in central Malé and typically reachable on foot from the ferry terminal and main harbor. Nearest international access: Velana International Airport (MLE) — a short speedboat/ferry transfer to Malé followed by a walk; local taxis and ferries connect the airport and city.

Allow 20–60 minutes depending on interest and whether you combine the visit with nearby sites.

Wear modest clothing (covering shoulders and knees) out of respect, comfortable shoes for walking, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), and bring water.

After your visit, explore Malé's nearby cafés and street-food stalls for local snacks (hedhikaa) and try Maldivian specialties. Look for handicrafts and lacquerware in Malé's markets as souvenirs.
