Loving the video,Steve ,I have not been very well lately and have missed watching you. My dad was born in Rabat, in a house in St.Paul's Street Ir brings a lump to my throat when I see those streets .

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

They are so beautiful, one of my favourite place, just love the feeling of history and art all around, so many statue on every corner

[@ritafreeman3252]

My father was born there too also across from St Paul’s Church , we have kept the name Paul in many of the children’s second name I love visiting there every time I go to Malta 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@tinacassar6566]

So many memories, my Nana lived close to that part of Rabat near the secret garden, that restaurant across use to be my dress makers house her name was Jessie. When I was young before I came to Australia they use to do dances in the secret garden during carnival. So many memories. Thanks for the memories. I grew up in Rabat and so proud of it. Hope to visit next year

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Sounds great Tina I love that place one of my favourite places

[@bobbythomas200420032]

Hi Steve that was an excellent video and i really enjoyed how you started off in Mdina then moved on to show us Rabat. Rabat does look so beautiful and interesting and a place I need to explore more of. Thanks for making this video.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes Bobby you will love it, Sunday morning there a nice market

[@shewhocraftsandplans7736]

CHALK is our absolute favourite coffee shop in Rabat xx

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes I have been a few times, it gets busy !

[@asyoulikeit111]

Great video Steve thanks. It’s much better when you have the camera facing forward as we can see much more. The new camera is doing a very good job. We are planning on visiting Rabat and Mdina soon as we went on a trip last year and it was a flying visit. The sun lighting up the buildings looks very pretty. Thanks again Steve

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

[@leedalmas5665]

Nice place to visit

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes full of history

[@kevinmoore7255]

Both places so calm and peaceful! Did the catacombs last year, very interesting and definitely worth a visit if you have never been.

[@johnabela932]

NEVER TIRE OF HISTORIC & BEAUTIFUL MDINA AND "RABAT"🚶⚔ 🛡 🎥. Rabat was always my late Dad's favourite. Must say it has changed a lot with all those bars, restaurants and the museums open to the general public/tourists. I read somewhere that "Tas-Serkin" cafe/bar changed hands few years ago. Steve, how about interesting "Roman Villa" ⚔🛡? 🤔 THANKS for the lovely walk Steve 🚶 🎥 👏. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Maybe do the Villa another day !

[@stephen7342]

Love Rabat, while staying in Mdina friends took us to the French cafe ( Marie’s boutique patisserie) they do amazing cakes and coffee, just not good for the waistline.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes one of my favourite place Rabat, cakes sounds awesome

[@carolynwatson1055]

Hey Steve, enjoyed that, love it over that way , Mdina always is a magical place but spent more time in Rabat last time was good to explore 😊

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

both places are really interesting

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

We did the opposite last year. Meant to go to Mdina but ended up just walking around Rabat and loved it. We didn’t have much time as we were stopping on our way back from Gozo before flying home, but was really impressed with Rabat, will definitely be back.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes Rabat have many secrets that I have not even touch on in this video, some impressive catacombs and archaeological remains that conceal the great historical and cultural value of this small city and its traditions, sunday market and the village with the most churches to mention just a few things

[@pawlupasparawlu]

Hello Steve, nice video. But please note that the original capital of Malta was Rabat. It was the Arab occupiers who decided that Rabat was too big to surround with bastions, so they created Mdina, which they walled and made it into the capital.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thanks, But I always understood the first capitol of Malta was birgu ? And that area of Rabat/ Mdina was called it melita which was split, but I am not historian, dont even remember what I said ?

[@pawlupasparawlu]

@@EnglishmaninMalta Hi, Birgu did not even exist at that time. Do some basic research. You should pay a visit to the National Library in Valletta. You will be amazed at what you will find. Anyhow Rabat was the original Capital of Malta and the Roman Villa in Rabat was the residence of the Roman governor, in Roman times.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

@Graeme Duncan Muslims are not arabs or north Africans? They are people from all over the world ?

[@georginageorge2563]

Muslims are followers of Islam, not a race.

[@georgejobe961]

Just seen you visit the same pastizzi place! 😀

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

I am watching my waist line

[@davidcole7900]

We'll Steve you have done it again that street from Mdina to Rabat holds many lovely memories walked it lots of times with my wife.She loved Rabat went at least 4 times in a fortnight holiday she especially loved Sunday when the market was on we sit and have a coffee and people watch great video mate.😊👍

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes David, Its also got a special place to me also ..Love the feel up there !!

[@davidcole7900]

Yes Steve it as got a lovely feel to the place.👍

[@toni-kaku]

I kove Rabat. Pastozxi ftom Is Serkin and fig rolls from that place in the Piazza were really nice 😜

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

They say best in Malta ! But not the same as old days !

[@maryfarrugia3508]

Thanks for a lovely and very interesting video of Rabat and imdina When we were in Malta a few years ago we went to imdina and Rabat Looks like they’ve done a lot of new paving in the towns looks great Thanks again Steve we love seeing your face you always do an excellent video 😁👍❤️

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thank you Mark for lovely comments and your support x

[@shewhocraftsandplans7736]

We have an appartment in Qawra but last year we spoiled ourselves and booked a studio appartent with a private hot tub and deck area in xara Palace…. Oh boy it was absolute heaven! To wander the streets of Mdina in the early hours was like a ghost walk, eerily quiet, the atmosphere was something else 💖

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

I went to Xara palace when they just started building, was so much work went into sorting it out with very deep shafts

[@georgejobe961]

We visited Rabat years ago, it was beautiful. We remember that just off the square as we got off the bus, we had some very good pastizzi, and a cup of tea from a big urn from a small cafe that was very popular. My father served in the war in the military hospital which I was so interested to see, such a shame that it has not been preserved as an important monument. It’s totally derelict, yet it must have served as an important military hospital during the war. My father served in the Royal Army Medical Corp. Are they going to do anything with it?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Hey George sounds great, lots of history up there !

[@georgereynolds1115]

Hi Steve great video will you be doing one on Ax Odesa in Qawra it use to be seashells 😊

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

15/20 min drive, 25/40 min Bus, I think 51 or 52 better check

[@lawrencegatt4515]

NO cars 🚘 should be in the CITY. 👎. Who’s living in the city.
