Highlights
  • Ghar Dalam Cave and Museum - Malta’s oldest prehistoric site of Għar Dalam invites guests to journey through history. A collection of prehistoric animal remains, excavated from the Għar Dalam cave, are on display in the Joseph Baldacchino’s Hall, which preserves one of the rare Victorian style exhibits in Europe.
  • Tarxien Temples - The remnants of a massive statue, featuring a figure adorned with a folded skirt, stand as a testament to the inception of civilization in the ornately adorned South Temple at the Tarxien Neolithic Complex. Unearthed in 1913 by the agriculturist Lorenzo Despott, this archaeological site encompasses a group of four stone structures erected during the late Neolithic period and subsequently modified for use in the Early Bronze Age.
  • Hagar Qim Temples - The over 5000-year-old Ħaġar Qim is perched atop a ridge with a lush valley to its east and a descending rocky landscape to the sea on its west. A short 500m descent from Ħaġar Qim leads to Mnajdra, a contemporaneous edifice, likely utilized by the same populace due to its close vicinity.
  • Mdina - Mdina ranks as one of Malta’s prime attractions, unparalleled in its uniqueness. Positioned on a hill with expansive views of Malta, this compact city is steeped in history and encircled by towering bastion walls. It boasts a plethora of ancient structures that have been meticulously preserved over many generations.

Additional Information

Embark on an enthralling journey back in time with a 4-hour private excursion to notable historical attractions including Ghar Dalam Cave and Museum, Tarxien Temples, Hagar Qim Temples, Mnajdra Temples, and the ancient capital, Mdina. Placed on the captivating island of Malta, Hagar Qim, Mnajdra, and Tarxien temples serve as remarkable examples of architectural brilliance, despite their constructors’ resource limitations. These intriguing structures shed light on the temple-making tradition in Malta and demonstrate the ingenious use of local stone resources. The stronger coralline limestone was employed in the formation of exteriors and the softer globigerina limestone was used for interior and ornamental embellishments.

Positioned atop a prominent hill in central Malta, the fortified ancient city of Mdina, synonymously known as the ‘Silent City’ by locals and tourists, exudes a truly enchanted ambiance. Home to the old Maltese capital, it boasts captivating views, narrow winding lanes and a sparse population.
