Maradhoo-Feydhoo
Maradhoo-Feydhoo (Dhivehi: މަރަދޫފޭދޫ) is a district of Addu City, in the Maldives. The district borders the district of Maradhoo to the north, as they both share the same natural island, and the district of Feydhoo to the south. After Addu City became a city, the Maradhoo-Feydhoo district got extended to include the previous administrative island and district of Feydhoo. The district has only 1 village known as Feydhooburi (translates to North Feydhoo). People still often call the village with the district's name.
