There are 1192 islands in the nation, which span an area of 871 kilometers.
There are 298 square kilometers of dry ground in the country, which has a total size of about 90,000 square kilometers.
There are 26 atolls in a double chain made up of the islands.
The tourist is mesmerized by the country's distinctive geography.Reefs with colorful bands, little jewel-like islands rimmed with the softest, whitest sand, and the cleanest, shallowest waters one can imagine. Only 200 of the islands are inhabited, and only a few on each atoll are resorts. Some of the islands are also used for agriculture and industries.
