Presidential Jetty to take on its former 1950's style

The Presidential Jetty; Izzudheen Faalan, or more commonly known as Jetty No. 1 in Male' is undergoing another major renovation. Public interest in this renovation is likely due to the notable changes implemented at the jetty by various administrations over time.

The jetty was initially constructed during the tenure of the first President of the Maldives' first republic, Mohamed Amin Didi. Its design underwent a significant transformation during the administration of former President Abdulla Yameen. Prior to that, a wooden jetty was built during the administration of former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Maldives' independence. The presidential jetty has featured a distinct design during each presidency.
