It is famous for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, coral reefs, and rich underwater world. The islands were first discovered by the Arabs and later by the Portuguese in 1505. However, in 1756, the islands were colonized by the French and named the Seychelles after the French Minister of Finance at the time, Jean Moreau de Seychelles. Legend has it that six families and their slaves arrived on the islands at that time. During the French colonial period, the Seychelles mainly served as a transit point for the slave trade and for supplying ships on their way to India. In the 19th century, the Seychelles became a British colony. Under British rule, the Seychelles developed as a plantation economy based on the cultivation of coconuts, vanilla, sugar cane, and cloves. The islands gained independence from Britain in 1976.
