Zurieq is like no life there. I stayed twice in Buggiba Saint Paul's Bay, (for me) the best place to live in Malta ☺️ I didn't have any problem to talk mixed english n arabic to Maltese people. I find them so kind n helpful ❤❤❤

I woke up this morning wanting to know more about Malta and had the fortune of finding your wonderful video - thank you Alex!

Great video Alex, thank you for the great tips as I plan my trip to your beautiful country.

Hi Alex a great video and thankyou so much for making this.

Love your Videos.Thank you for always depicting Malta as a beautiful place.We still have a lot of things to arrange.!!

Thank you for the helpful and funny video, Alex. I’m going to Malta for a March holiday. I will download your guide as soon as I click send here

Always LOVE watching your videos Alex!!! Love from South Africa ❤❤❤

Alex, I've been enjoying your videos and you just earned yourself a new subscriber (Maltese living in the US here). You did remind me on how I used to get all heated up driving there, you were spot on on that (I did however witness much worse driving in a couple other European cities).

Spot on video as usual, well done Alex 👏👏👏

Just back from Malta :-) you are so sunny person❤ thanks for this great video🎉

great video Alex!

Thanks for Sharing Good information again Alex 👍

Very honest and personal advises that you are giving here, I really appreciate how non complacent you are about things. Thus us refreshing and really informative for us who have not visited the island yet.

Thank you so much Alex you are doing a great job living in our beautiful Malta.

Thank you Alex, I was fortunate enough to visit Malta last Oct/Nov at the end of the 'season' and it was beautiful and an amazing experience. So much so, that I have already booked another holiday to start the last week of April. Thank you for the valuable tips and of course all the other videos you've produced about Malta and how to get the best of of any visit, its appreciated!

You should add: Just because it's a very small place.... doesn't mean that you can travel around quickly. Cabs might be faster but I use the buses (tal-linja card) and going somewhere just a few kilometers away can take a really, really long time and you need to factor that in when making plans.

Thank you very much for producing this video. I am going to travel to Malta in December and i was a little unprepared. But now I know more and i will read your guide book :D

Alex that was a brilliant video everything you said is so true I love listening to your advice thank you ❤

Hey Alex, we've been watching vids researching Malta for an upcoming trip and you have the best, funniest by far!! "We don't care"!! Brilliant!

I can't help but smile because I can relate to you so much about the driving in Malta part of your video. I also get heated up when talking about driving here as I also drive in Malta. It is somehow such a relief that it's not only me who feels this way about the drivers and pedestrians here, why they drive like that and when you think about it, the small stupid road accidents should not happen if they just follow the rules and give way to others when needed. 1-2 seconds to wait, stop can avoid these road accidents and traffic.

Thank you so much for cousiousnes by sharing necessary information

thanks Alex for a very informative video, Love from Canada

thanks i am gonna visit soon very helpful video

Great tips Alex! Use to drive in Malta but not any more , I’ll stick to the buses and taxis now as the roads are so much more busy now!

Thank you for making these videos about my Country. Malta is barely noticed by other people from different countries. I speak Maltese hope you do too 😊

a lot of genuine information...thk u alex

In my country Nigeria which is in the western part of Africa, Ehen is a normal everyday word for us and it's used in 3different ways, it would be difficult to see a Nigerian not using that in their everyday sentences, ehen is used mainly when speaking our broken english called pidgin english it's used as an exclamation in 3different ways, so if you see a Nigerian using that term you must understand it was gotten from home, you are either using it to concur to what the person is saying, or you use it when you are surprised at a statement the person makes cos you weren't aware, or you use it after daring a person in a conversation

Love your videos. You make me want to come there

Nice vedeo very interisting ❤

Spot on, well done 👍

What’s funny to me is that last month, we spent about 3 weeks driving around Sicily before flying from Catania into Luqa, and I honestly told our taxi driver the day we arrived in Malta that I was so glad for the calm driving! It seems that even the crazy driving in Malta feels like a slow Sunday cruise when compared to Sicilian driving! I think I would have been worried about trying to learn to drive on the other side of the road, however. That definitely messes with your mind when you first experience it.

Everything you’ve said so informant

Great info... I'd love to know what the tipping guide is?

Cheers Alex..another great informative video..Chris Birmingham UK

Wow, I am so impressed with your video presentation. I love the island as I have the priviledge and honour to have been born here. I'm in my 70th year and think of Malta as my home. I am so ashamed that I have never taken the time to learn the language but I know that you are spot on with your coments of not over doing it. My prefered place of residence, when i come, is Sleima and they are fantastic towards visitors. Your attitude toward the local people and the vistors is perfect. A priviledge to listened to your advise. I ca n only hope that visitors take note of your advise

love your ❤video as always 🎉

Hi Alex! Just see your channel and videos and found funny and interesting. Just joined it and tip to the bell... :) Next October me and my motorider club in Sicily will have a weekend trip to Malta. Of course it's a very short period for appreciating the beautiful things we will see, but I think it will be really funny, thanks also to your suggest. Cheers from sicily :)

Your explanation is worth it brother... 😅❤

Omg😂#7 was so funny Alex Great list

Thank you very much for the great video and very useful tips. Can you recommend Malta for a stag do at the end of April? is there something going on? what is the nightlife like this time of year? thank you very much in advance 😊

Great stuff

A much needed video! You forgot to mention the beautiful sound of our Church bells which many foreigners living in Malta hate! They must come from very boring countries!

Good morning Alex🎉

Nice guy and great video Maltese parents but live in England got two holidays for 2024 booked already but would love to move there .

Great video! Very informative. Loved your hand gesture description of the seductive "ladies" of Paceville, lol. 😘

You make me smile.

Great video! We're visiting Malta soon and I'd like your input on whether it's worth renting a car to visit the main sights of the country. Also none of us have ever driven a right-hand steering wheel car, in a left-side driving country haha, so coupled with the erratic driving of the locals that you described, should we perhaps just stick to buses to get around?

A huge well done..

Maybe a bit beyond the scope of this video but I am Maltese and I can tell you that a lot of Maltese people complain about fireworks, particularly the extremely noisy (bombs) petard. I love the colourful night time ones, but something needs to be done regarding petards + we don't need launches at 8am. (Where I live they do an entire week of this, barely 300m away from my house) Traditions change and evolve over time (the same thing happened in Italy). So by all means, complain because a lot of us dislike the noisy bombs/petards, just because something is traditional does not mean it cannot be altered.

I live in malta and I surely suggest to never park on the yellow line or on the blue square unless you have the bluebag

I loved those fireworks 🎆 they were amazing

If I get visa for purposes of my rest of the study then I will travel over there and your videos might be helpful for me.

Glad you touched on the subject about driving in Malta 😂 the taxi drivers act like they are racing in nascar

Be aware that buses can be unreliable in country areas, being infrequent and prone to cancellation or being full up. Also, they mostly stop running by around 10pm, so plan your evenings accordingly. The narrow roads and the heavy traffic also mean that Malta is dangerous for cycling: so much so that you seldom see anyone on a bike. Apart from that, Malta is a beautiful place.

Maltese is made of Arabic, Italian and English not French. English is our official language together with Maltese. Most Maltese talk in Italian as well. You need to check your facts better :) Also, saying that we have winds which pull up chairs in the air is a bit excessive. It is true that the sea can be deadly though.

I'm coming over to Malta on the 11 December for 28 nights,very much looking forward to it,and I know they celebrate Christmas much better than in England

Morning! Alex😊

I'm going to malta on 9th December till 23rd December...staying at the db seabank...cant wait 🍺 🍻

I love love your videos 😂

Thanks Alex for this info. I'm planning to come to Malta for 3 nights in mid-December . Any tips on best place to stay and things to do in 72 hours? Thanks.

Im a big van of mass transit but the busses are terrible- always late, always crowded and it can take 2 hours to go 15 kilometers

good one Alex.. but fireworks 8am to 11pm? Better check your clock the fireworks are more like 7am to 1am !! 😄

Maltese is very close to classical (Medieval) Arabic. Many Maltese, especially the educated ones, are fluent in Italian. English is the island's second language.

Thank u so much sir

interesting.

I think you forgot to mention the sandy beach of Birzebbuga 😎🌝🇲🇹👍🏼

Hey Alex, how can I get your book? thx

Was in Malta in June..amazing island

Hi Alex !!

True. The driving is madness. Many accidents

Soon i will be in malta and i want to meet you also

Hey Alex, thank you for a great discussion and real facts about Malta, my birth country. I may want to add something that may not be on everyone's radar. If you come to Malta and want to hire a (God Forbid) car, think again. If you are 75 years and over, the Insurance cos. do not cover you, so you may want to give that a miss. I speak with recent experience. I am sorry I missed your walk and live show in Valletta recently.

Hi Alex! I'm going to visit Malta soon for the first time! I'm also thinking about moving there in the future (TEFL). Thank you for giving all the information! I was wondering and hope you don't mind me asking: are you living with a roommate? I can imagine it being hard (financially and socially) to live alone (but also nice, haha). Best wishes, Karin!

Frist language in malta is English as you well know been under british role for 150 years research please,,,,but hey love your videos reminds me when lived there many years ago but visit often hence English is still first lingo as you know Sliema st julians and all over

You are hilarious!! I tried to purchase your guide, but it's only sold in Europe. I'm in US and would love a copy. Do you sell to US?

I plan on schooling in Malta… what’s your take on??

Point 11 watch all your videos! But the driving point is so true. I still have ptsd lol. Oh and point 12 come hungry

Having watched the 3 part series about Malta on Sky TV, I was seriously considering going there for a holiday......probably not anymore.

Qala feast 2023 was very windy on saturday we had fire works and 20 people were had burn

what is best sity for living?

6:03 especially the green grass in water that is so slippery so be careful

Love what you said.... ehe, mela Vera.....true that maltese speak like that!!!!!! I have been away for 17 years, and now i find it funny!!!!(maltese)

Malta is my country, I am definately Maltese and have always lived in Malta. But it is true the so called "Festi" have become heavy to support to say the least. When I was little the Festa would be just during the weekend and we would have only the Church Fireworks and some few more from the Band clubs. It was nice, simple and it truly was religious. Unfortunately nowadys the Festi turned into " a Sodoma and Gomorra", I see nothing religious in these Festi anymore. It's just an excuse to drink and party for a whole week, and for the Band clubs to compete on who will have the biggest and most bombastic Fireworks of all. But obviously this is just my opinion, no offenece to no one.

I moved here from uk 11 years ago, I drive, half of what you say is true

Single drunk or not drunk women shouldn't go to Paceville either!! It's as dangerous as heck. We called it the Gauntlet. When I lived in Malta 1977/1982 Paceville was amazing as safe. Now not so much. Very sad.

My Arabic best friend who use to visit Malta 5 times a year for many years....always use to think she understood​ Maltese and always misunderstood everything. 😆 Arabic people want to think they understand more than they do for whatever reason. Plus the arabic accent is so heavy that even when they do speak Maltese I personally have trouble understanding them let alone arabic itself. I can tell you, I who was very use to hearing the arabic language through her...still only learnt a few basic words.

What about motorbikes in Malta?

thanks Alex ,Malta sounds like a place to avoid and i will.

I live in malta and he is so right

I could get the "go back to your country" comment- but that doesn't stop the disturbance! I'm sure a lot of maltese people are also profoundly annoyed

#7 Ehe mela mela with eyes rolling annoyed faced 😂. The most helpful tip in the video. 8:01, 8:33, 9:09, 9:22

I'll travel to Malta on november 7 for 3 momths🎉🎉🎉

2:10 is wrong. I live in malta and there are so many bad parkers that never get a fine

and at the end ...why should i even go there on my holiday and get more stress than my usual city?

10:07 i mean look at Ibiza (so many partys)

Spent 5 months in Malta in 2018/19. Driving my right hand drive Irish car was a breeze as Malta is a RIGHT HAND DRIVE country. Soo watch out for Eastern European/Russians in rental cars. Especialls at travel circles/roundabouts. They turn in the opposite direction from Europe. Same problem as in Cyprus. You also didn't mention that Malta is a gay destination, as explained by my Polish lesbian friends.

You have really spot on everything as usual…. Bdw we also use also the word ‘ta’ 😅

Visiting Malta at the end of February. From what I gather, English is spoken all around?

This video is sponsored by myself 😂 Alex sir Thank you for giving us information

Hahha I thought I should use Mela because everyone does 🤣Great video
