Babu Valley, Natural valley in Żurrieq, Malta
The Babu Valley stretches for nearly one kilometer through limestone formations, featuring steep rocky walls and seasonal vegetation patterns throughout its course.
This dry riverbed represents an ancient water system that shaped Malta's geological landscape over thousands of years of natural erosion processes.
Local residents maintain traditional connections to the valley through regular community gatherings and outdoor recreational activities throughout the seasons.
Visitors can access the valley through a parking area near Żurrieq village, with designated paths leading to multiple climbing spots and hiking trails.
