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.
