Maltese Islands
The Maltese Islands are located right in the centre of the Mediterranean consisting of three main islands. Located 90 km to the south of of Sicily and 290 km north of Africa, 1,830 km to the east of Gibraltar and 1,500 km west of Alexandria, the Maltese Islands occupy the heart of the Mediterranean.
Malta has a very deep history as it is home to the oldest standing temples in the world. It has been conquered by different powers throughout the ages from the Phoenicians, Arabs, Normans, French and finally the English having served as a British colony for almost 100 years.
Today it serves as a growing destination to learn English from the young and adult students from across the globe.
Presently, the local population exceeds 400,000 residents all of which are largely English-speaking. All official documentation is in English making communication and integration easy including commercial and business relationships while the laws are in English and Maltese.
The Maltese language is the only Semitic langauge in Europe originating from Arabic and a mixture of Italian, French and Spanish. As a result of its conquerors, which left their influence throughout the ages, Malta has inherited a rich heritage and the Maltese are known for their great hospitality.
Malta is a tranquil celebration of sea and sun, boasting crystal-clear waters, a stunning coastline, rocky creeks, secluded coves of red sand, natural pools and underwater caves, among other features that make it the jewel of the Mediterranean.
