Advice from me to you and I am sure you will thank me for this advice, which is when you go to a Muslim country, do you remember to ask them about Islam as I do, and I am sure that you will experience a completely different experience before and after this question, but especially in an Arab country Remember that Islam has absolutely nothing to do with Arabs, it is a religion that includes all people of any kind I'm sure you'll have a completely different experience after asking )What is Islam@@@@ (can I learn more about it@@@)
As a Maltese I enjoyed watching your videos on Malta :) To answer your question, the 'dust' on cars is actually sand. We have "xita tal-hamrija" which translates to the "rain of soil" which is apparently rain that travels from North Africa and the sand is the residue that is left from that rain 🤷♀ We get that type of rain in Spring and Autumn mostly.
As a Maltese person, I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay here! I'm only just a little bit sad that you didn't visit our megalithic temples that were built before the great pyramids of Giza!
We were there in February and the Ggantija megalithic temples were what I was most excited about, truly stunning!! 😍😍 Honestly Malta has so many amazing places to see that the 5 days we stayed were not enough. You can check out our Malta vlogs if you'd like, Ggantija temples are in the vlog 😊
Dan and Oskar, I arrived on the day the Azure window fell into the ocean with the specific intention of filming it! Imagine that, It had been standing probably for over two hundred years and I chose the wrong day, wrong year , wrong century. I made a little video about it too. Azure was the pride of Malta.
Helloooooo, little note that the Azure Window was actually a fairly new/recent rock formation. The sea is so powerful it's constantly creating and destroying. If you check out photos of the window in the 1950s and compare it to the 2000s, you can see just how much it changed in just 50 years.
I’ve been to 20 so far, and I’d be lost without @geographynow 😭 It’s awesome to see the good sides of UA-cam be good together, even in the small ways 😊
We don't have suburbs. The coastal towns you drove through are ancient fishing villages. They are much older than Valletta. Mdina is thousands of years old, originally built by the Phoenicians.
First went in 2007 to Melliha, girlfriend booked it as a surprise as to be honest, it's not a place we'd thought of going. We've been back many times because we liked it so much, give it a try. You don't need a car to get around because it's so small and the buses are reliable and dirt cheap.
LLove your travel blogs. Your humor and fun is coming thru loud and clear. Your trips make me want to travel with you but I think an 86 YO woman would be a bit of a hinderance so just keep traveling and blogging. When. you get to 100 countries just start over with. you favorites. You both are so fun.
Watching this made me wanna go back to Malta! Gozo and Mdina were definitely highlights for me (think it’s pronounced “Mmdina” btw haha) - either that or my Bolt driver was wrong 😅
As a Maltese person the pronounciation of Mdina killed me. It's pronounced Imdina. And the name of the little Island in between Gozo and Malta is Comino. Although I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here.
When visiting small Islands (not just Malta), you need to throw your understanding of city/town/village, out the window 😂 Each place with a new name, is a new town. There are different sizes, but no big distinction between them. Suburbs don't exist.
So you guys aren't Vegan? I have no idea why I thought you guys were Vegan so you can imagine my shock seeing you guys tuck into a Hamburger. Are you guys on/off Vegans?
GREAT that you got to see M'dina but while it got its name from the city in Arabia, it's far older than the Arabic occupation. It was originally called Melita and was the capital city from Phoenician times onward- and no accident that one could see Valetta and virtually the whole Maltese coast from its walls since they built it so they could be ready for invading navies and merchant ships! Oh and Melita was also the original name for the island of Malta which meant 'land of honey' and its honey was savored all over the Mediterranean from at least Ancient Greek times (and I hope you got to have some since it's fantastic).
Once you get out of the Valetta/Sliema 'metro' area since the roads are very twisty and confusing within the towns. In town, just walk or take the tour buses!
That's a holdover from Malta's time being a British colony (1800-1964). Of course another holdover is that English is the 2nd official language after Maltese so that helps English-speaking tourists!
Fantastic video! Your English is amazing. Was Malta expensive to visit.? ie hotels, meals etc. Can you also share the price of the ferry to Gozo please?
Me and my bf (we're LGBT couple from Poland) didn't make it with driving on the left side in Malta. We rented a car but my bf who drove the car from the airport was schocked and terrifiied. We arrived at night. Firstly, we had to handle an extremely narrow village street with these stone-made fences. I was sitting beside my boyfriend and I was so worried that the car would rub against the wall on my side. Secondly, the markings, especially road surface markings were insuficcient and sometimes confusing. He wasn't sure how to cross the roundabouts. A lot of folks vere honking at us which was very stressful, especially for me because I had no control of what was happening whatsoever. My bf was cursing, furious and helpless. We made it to the hotel in Sliema and I was literally crying in our room. He approached me, hugged me and we decided not to use the car anymore. I called the rental agency and we resigned. We were using Bolt instead. It was very effecive and not so much expensive. We fell in love with Malta and we are plannig to visit it again in October - to get married :). Now we will try the local transportation.
I’m currently staying in Gozo and have been here for a few months for my internship. I got this recommended to me by UA-cam and it’s so weird to see you guys walk where I walk everyday and pass the cafe I used to work at, or how at 7:10 I can see my apartment building on the right😂. Great video!
The place where u were scoobadiving across the popeye village, there’s my hidden cave hahah where i feel lucky. Coming back to Malta this end of September and defo will go back to my cave 😅
Another awesome video. You guys are great. Never boring. Funny and entertaining 😄. Thank you so much for taking us along with your journey thru your amazing videos.
Another amazing Vlog! I’m glad you could put your diving skills to the test again but too bad about the waves/current. Mdina looks really cool! You’re icing me ideas for future vacations! Haha Stay safe friends! ❤️
OOh, I feel immense gratitude for being Maltese and residing in these stunning islands. The locals are incredibly warm, the weather is delightful, and we’re fortunate to have a variety of experiences within relatively short distances. Thank you once again for visiting!
The Azure window was beautiful, but the underwater is even more stunning. Diving in Malta/Gozo/Comino is normally really good, but the winds can make it a challenge especially when seasons are changing. I’m so glad you enjoyed Malta, as a Maltese person, I appreciate when travellers share a new perspective.
The island between Malta and Gozo is Comino. A friend out from England and I walked it in an afternoon. The water of the Blue Lagoon really is blue. Glad you made time for Gozo, which has a quiet charm. Its two theatres put on operas every year at very reasonable prices. (A friend plays in the orchestra so I go to support.))
Love the videos, guys! You use some of my favorite YT music! You guys might want to work on your pronunciation of "Montenegro," though ;) Pronouncing it that way can lead to demonetization.
Arabic words of places are common in Malta. So not strange to see the city of Mdina (meaning city in Arabic) or Rabat (meaning in Arabic is the stationing of the Islamic armies with their weapons and military equipment in places of danger and frontiers). But even Spain carries to this very day Arabic places such Al Hambra (reference to the red castle at the times of Andalusia) and Wadalajara (literally meaning the valley of dung), just to mention a few.

As a Maltese person, I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay here! I'm only just a little bit sad that you didn't visit our megalithic temples that were built before the great pyramids of Giza!
I saw the one in Ggantija in Gozo! TRULY worth visiting (and a glimpse to the still mysterious lost homegrown civilization)!
Ooh, I’m sad that we didn’t get to see that, too!
Ooh I am also Maltese!

@Oskar and Dan in my opinion next time u go matla to see its true seaside vibe go to marsaxlokk I promise u wont be dissapointed
Okay nice
Enjoyed it, Thanks for sharing our country 😂
Is that "dust" sand from the Sahara Desert?
Yes.
How was the "to&go" cars? do you recommend it? I missed that part
Yup it worked pretty well but finding a dedicated parking spot when returning it at night was a bit of a challenge!
For certain, 100 by the end of the year!
Yessir!
Hoping that next country is just due west to Tunisia! 🇹🇳
I expected more scuba diving footage 🥺🥺
Watching this made me wanna go back to Malta! Gozo and Mdina were definitely highlights for me (think it’s pronounced “Mmdina” btw haha) - either that or my Bolt driver was wrong 😅
@Sky Calabrese Thanks for confirming!
HELLO I M MALTESE AND I WOULD RECOMMEND TO GO TO SMALL SHOPS CALLED SERKIN IN MALTESE AND THEY HAVE TRADITIONAL FOOD LIKE PASTIZZI AND TIMPANA.

How can you guys detox food at night and still get a good nights sleep? I do not eat past like 3 PM
How much does this trip around 85 countries cost?
Can I ask what equipment you guys are using for the video please?
iPhone 13 Pro Max!
@@OskarandDan are you guys using the default microphone(iphone) or you have an add on microphone?
There Valletta waterfront
Looks like dinosaurs were here.
Will you be going to the Philippines? Or no plans at all? Lol. Sure, you fell in love with Thailand, our frienemy country. I guess you won't. 😂

@@nunabea we were a British colony for 150 years spanning across both world wars due to our geographical location
It’s good to know this, I might rent a car here and not be terrified. (I’m from Ireland and we drive on the left here too)
Victoria in Gozo is also called Rabat in Maltese, because it's the suburb to the Cittadella/ Citadel
I want to go! My dad was born in Sliema and I have a friend in Malta.
Somalia 😅
