Where is Malta?
Despite being one of the smallest countries in the world, Malta is a popular and attractive tourism destination, with the industry contributing around 27% to the country’s GDP. The official languages spoken in Malta are Maltese and English.
Malta is one of the three Commonwealth member countries in Europe. It became an independent republic in 1974, but it still retains its membership in the Commonwealth of Nations. Additionally, Malta is a full member of various international organizations, including the European Union, Schengen, the World Trade Organization, and the Eurozone.
The Republic of Malta is situated in the central Mediterranean, between Sicily and North Africa. It is made up of an archipelago that comprises three inhabited islands (Malta, Comino, and Gozo), as well as several uninhabited islands. The country is renowned for its sunny weather and attractive beaches.
Malta boasts a wide range of stunning landscapes and remarkable natural attractions, including popular sites like the Inland Sea and Fungus Rock, which can be found on the Maltese Islands.
