United Travel Malta

Emirates is an airline that most people fantasize about travelling with, this might be because their marketing campaigns are always very original and nearly always feature dream destinations as they connect the East with the West. Their campaigns portray the airline as being one of the world's most luxurious airlines and are not only aimed at business travellers but also at the everyday holiday makers. Emirates' latest campaign has been given the title "Be There" and it's aim is to motivate  "travellers to explore more of the world through the eyes of our very own travel experts." They chose seven members of their staff who have a passion for travelling the world and exploring different places, and gave them the task of creating a short video highlighting their favourite places from the countries they are visiting. These videos encourage travellers to "take the road less travelled and be there." Travellers are then encouraged to post pictur

As most people around the world know, last month the youngest member of the British Royal Family was christened amidst a lot of fanfare in England. Undoubtedly Princess Charlotte has received a shower of gifts from all over the world, including from Malta. Last week, almost a month after the official christening, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and his wife Michelle presented the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with a traditional Maltese lace summer blanket on behalf of the Maltese public. The design for the blanket was adapted from old, traditional patterns. The centre piece was worked using the English stitch with sprays of small flowers and leaves scattered on it. The eight-pointed Maltese Cross is also included in the centre of the blanket. Another feature of the blanket are the Princess’ initials CED – Charlotte Elizabeth Diana - that are monogrammed on the blanket. The lace used is fine pure silk ordered from silk manufacturers in the UK.  Dating back to the reign of the Knights

It's summer, it's hot (at least in Malta it is) and let's face it, everyone feels a little bit more laid back and relaxed in Summer. So this week we decided to post a blog about a little dog that has taken the internet world by storm. The Jack Russell terrier, who goes by the name Titti, became a global sensation after photographer Mark Cassar captured the dog diving with her owner and sent it to a local radio station. The radio station posted the video on their Facebook page and received thousands of comments and likes from all around the world. The video of this cute dog and her owner diving into the crystal clear blue water at St. Peter's Pool in Malta, even attracted attention from news agencies like the BBC , Daily Mail, CNN, Sky, and Australia's Channel Nine. Watch the video below to watch Titti in action and to hear more about her from her owner.

Visitors to the seaside town of Sliema in Malta are being greeted by a large street art mural depicting a man climbing into a hole in the wall. The mural was created by the French artist that goes by the name MTO as part of the Sliema Arts Festival which was held in July.  According the to artist's Facebook Page , the mural is called "The Mediterranean Tunnel" and he was inspired to paint it after reading a quote by an Italian lawyer who had been living in Malta for a number of years and who jumped to Malta's defence when we were receiving negative criticism about the migrants tragedy which took place earlier this year. The quote that he refers to was the following: "The Maltese have accepted the dead, but not the living. Malta is too small to take in thousands of persons. But if someone is in danger at sea, they pick him up: it is not true they push him back in the water. Then they try not to keep him: that is true. They have a pragmatic approach, but not
