哈扎伊姆神庙

This was amazing for the fact that not all of the stones are roped off. I was climbing and tripping over 5,000 year old stones. The 4D movie was a good introduction so I knew what I was looking at. There are several surrounding trails if you want to hike around the area. I did not go to any other temple ruins, so I have no comparison but these were well worth the trip. Especially if you plan on walking down to the Blue Grotto. I chose not to walk down, it appeared to treacherous for me. If you are not sure footed, I would take boat from another area to see the grotto. We were there in March and the boat tours are limited.

Impressive prehistoric site with the remains of two temples separated by a downhill walk of 500m or so. The man made covering that protects the ancient site takes away from the overall impression . However, I understand the necessity. The walk back allows one to detour along the cliff top. The walk is lovely but pretty rough. Along the way you may encounter some of Maltas bird life, flora and fauna.we used the hop on/off open top bus to get there. It made the journey to this remote site easier.

Visited the place with my friends on a maltese holiday tuesday with good weather and not much people. They have this mini 5D movie which tells about the two ancient temples and a great exhibit. The place has great view and well maintained. You will just need to walk a lot though, but it's near the sea so its kina fun as well. Must stop for history geeks.

Amazing how these stones were moved and erected(including a single 20 ton stone)thousands of years agoHow/why they arranged it with holes for the summer solstice (and other equinox's),sun is still open for debateA Unesco World Heritage Site.There is a 5D introductory short video in the small but informative visitor centre.Audio sets are extra to the admission fee(which is included in the Malta Pass Card scheme),but very useful to understand all areas,you could easily share one.There is the Hagar Qim site,then 500meters away is the Mnajdra site.Its a pleasant downhill walk to it (and a bit of effort needed for us older ones walking back up!)Allow 1 and a half hours to do in total.

Wee were blown away by this site. It is ancient and pretty well preserved and the museum is very informative. Just being able to wander around a site that is 5000 years old is incredible. Very well looked after.

The Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples are World Heritage sites that should not be missed out from any tour of Malta. The museum and careful preservation work being undertaken on them is impressive in themselves, though the protective roofs looka little like circus tents at first glance. They do offer some welcome shade on sunny days or cover from the rain on wet ones like outs, however, which rapidly changed my mind. The surrounding area is beautiful as well offering several other nature walks and stunning views. Highly recommended!

Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Temples must be seen! These are extraordinary stone age constructions, and will (along with Tarxien and the Hypogeum) challenge everything you think about that era. These are also in a beautiful setting by the sea. There is a half-hourly bus service which drops you outside (which runs from Dingli to the airport). The museum is good as well. There is a privately-run restaurant next door to the site.

Well maintained site as is sister Mnajdra Temple. Very interesting sites but a bit of a hike back up the path from Mnajdra. Beautiful views of the islet Filfla.10Euro entry fee includes the museum and film. Several walks take you to a turret, a monument and a view of a sea arch.

The Hagar Qim temple is very impressive. The museum is interesting and the "4D" film about the construction and history of the temples is great. You can walk through the temple and spend quite a bit of time there. The area around the temples and the view over the sea is beautiful. Definite recommendation!

The prehistoric site of Hagar Qim consists of a group of monumental megalithic buildings that were built around 5,000 years ago. The museum is very interesting and the site itself well worth a visit. Children will love watching the 4D film shown before the actual visit to the site where you can walk among the buildings.

The tour starts with a "4D" film showing the construction and discovery of the site complete with wind effects. Entry fee (10 Euro) is for the exhibition and both temples although the second temple is down a steep path and is quite a slog back up.

Of course the temples, because of their old age and their Unesco recognition, are all worth a visit. The temples, the new museum and especially the 4-D movie about their history, are more than worth the rather high ticket price.

I was unimpressed with this temple, which is located in southern Malta and easily accessible from most places on the island via bus. For me it was spoilt by the big white tent with metal struts that it sits under. I know it has to be preserved, but with all the ingenuity of man surely they could have found a more photogenic way of doing it. It obscures the countryside and loses all sense of context, so the temple becomes just a few stones. The temple is well preserved and you can walk around it, and it's very ancient. The quality of the information isn't great and so it's hard to work out what you're seeing if you don't take a tour. I preferred Tarxien to here.

As noted by other reviewers, these temples are 1,000 years older than the Egyptian Pyramids and 1600 years older than Stonehenge. They were constructed by people with extensive knowledge of architectural principles and clever pulley and wheel mechanisms and they are gorgeous sitting on the cliff by water's edge. But, the most intriguing question is why these people would have had such a massive temple complex on such a tiny island and how they supported the complex. According to experts, the one of the temples is designed to capture the sun and track Venus. There is also evidence of the tracking of astrological signs. We hired a private guide to take us all over the island (quite inexpensive compared with other EU destinations) and thought that the guide made the experience of driving the coastline and considering the history of the temples quite alive and interesting. I also recommend a visit to the Museum of Archeology where many of the artifacts from the temples are displayed.

This is a prehistoric site which consists of monumental megalithic buildings built around 5000 years ago.It is a very interesting place which can be visited at Qrendi, close to the sea, open daily from 09:00 to 17:15 (Oct 1st to end of March) and from 09:00 to 19:15 (April 1st to end of September). Easily accessible by bus wich is also a very pleasant journey.
