What to Expect

Step back in time with a guided half-day tour of Malta’s most fascinating prehistoric sites, including temples older than the Pyramids.

This half-day excursion is perfect for history lovers and archaeology enthusiasts. Discover three of Malta’s most significant prehistoric sites with an expert guide.

We begin at Għar Dalam Cave and Museum, where the earliest evidence of human settlement in Malta was found. The cave also holds fossilized remains of animals that roamed the island over 500,000 years ago, such as dwarf elephants and hippopotami.

Next, visit the Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Temples, two stunning megalithic structures perched on Malta’s southern cliffs. These temples date back more than 5,000 years and are among the oldest free-standing stone buildings in the world—older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids.

At each site, your guide will share historical insights and archaeological context, bringing Malta's ancient heritage to life. You’ll also have the chance to visit the Visitors’ Centre with multimedia exhibits and artifacts that further enrich the experience.
