Wied Qirda

Wied Qirda is a quiet dry valley on Malta, winding through low Mediterranean scrubland well away from the island's tourist hotspots. The trail starts on a paved path before dropping into the dried riverbed itself — sturdy footwear becomes essential from that point on. Among those who know Malta beyond its beaches, the valley has a reputation as one of the island's greener, more peaceful walks. Families with children handle the terrain comfortably for most of the route.
