Nearby, the group will view remains of an early Islamic burial site (Maqbarah), offering further insight into the island's diverse and multicultural past.

Panoramic views over Gozo offer a moment of contemplation and appreciation of Allah's creation. The journey continues to Dwejra Bay, where dramatic cliffs and open sea create a powerful natural landscape.
