What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Malta?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Malta if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Malta. It is considered rude to point with your index finger, so it is best to use an open hand when gesturing. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. It is also important to be aware of the local language and to be respectful when speaking to locals. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to respect them," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Malta.
