The Maldives is made up of 1,192 coral islands grouped into 26 natural atolls that are separated by deep channels. The highest point in the country is only 2.4 meters (7 feet) above sea level, making it one of the lowest countries in the world. The country’s terrain consists mostly of low coral islands with white sandy beaches and palm trees. The Maldives has a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round and plenty of sunshine throughout the year. There are also numerous lagoons and reefs surrounding the islands which make it a popular destination for snorkeling and diving. The area code for Maldives is +960.
