Buġibba Halal Travel Guide

Buġibba, like Sliema, is where you can see the effect of mass-tourism on Malta. It is a coastal town which unfortunately had much of its traditional housing replaced with unregulated buildings such as hotels and prefab rental apartments aimed at people coming there on package deals. It has little in the way of attractions or places of interest, but as it's close to a number of beaches, its population increases manyfold in the high season.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Buġibba

Being more to the northwest than Valletta and Sliema one has quicker access to northern beaches such as Mellieħa and the islands Comino and Gozo. Visiting the Red Fort is an option as are the considerably quieter beaches on the north-west coast; Paradise beach (near Ċirkewwa), Ghajn Tuffieha and next to it Golden Bay near the calm village of Mġarr (not to be confused with its namesake on Gozo).

Buġibba comes alive at night. There are only a few clubs, located near the main square, for those seeking an active nightlife but, for those wanting a more relaxed holiday and there are plenty of quiet bars where you can obtain a drink and a chat. Live entertainment is abundant and most hotels don't mind non-guests coming in to watch. Karaoke is offered in some cafes along Tourist Street (Triq it-Turisti on Maltese street signs) for those with less inhibitions than singing talent.

Buġibba offers many pubs serving a range of soft-drinks.Imported drinks are expensive so, if you're a British tourist expecting a good pint of John Smith's or Worthington's, expect to pay heavily! Blue Label is a great alternative for bitter drinkers and Hopleaf comes recommended for drinkers of real ale. For lager drinkers, however, Carlsberg is brewed under licence on the island and is often sold for less than 3 euro per pint but, for a few cents more, you can try Malta's own lager, Cisk. Wine is of low price and high quality, even in Buġibba, so soft drinks drinkers won't be disappointed.

Don't forget to taste the Maltese soft drink Kinnie which is a bitter orange drink. It's like a Fanta/Campari mix.

Cider is also there ad it tastes amazing, if you are coming to Malta have some Maltese cider.
