Ta' Dmejrek
Hill Malta's highest point atop Dingli Cliffs
At Dingli Cliffs, Ta’ Dmejrek marks Malta’s highest natural point, offering sea-facing walks and sunset views over the Mediterranean. Hikers visit cliff paths and nearby rural terraces.
Ta’ Dmejrek is the highest point on the main island of Malta, located on the Dingli Cliffs in the Dingli area. It is noted for its cliff-top position and coastal views.
The site is chiefly visited for dramatic sea vistas and coastal walking - cliffs fall steeply to the Mediterranean and the islet of Filfla is often visible offshore. Tracks and viewpoints along the cliff edge are the main attractions.
The high point forms part of the Dingli cliff escarpment and has been a landmark for local farmers and mariners. The cliffs and plateau have retained a largely rural character while being accessible from nearby villages.
Geographically the summit lies on Malta’s western coast, about 13 kilometres southwest of Valletta and close to the village of Dingli, overlooking the open sea to the southwest.
- Elevation: At 253 metres above sea level it is the highest natural point in Malta, located on the Dingli Cliffs along the island's western coast.
