Magħtab is a Maltese village. It lies in the valley of the same name in the local council of Naxxar. It is the site of the largest landfill in the island, commonly known as 'Mount Magħtab'. That landfill was closed when Malta joined the EU in 2004, but two others were subsequently opened.
Għadira Nature Reserve
' () also known as Nature Reserve' () is a protected area located in the locality of Mellieħa, Malta. It comprises a brackish lake and a salt marsh habitat. Due to Malta's arid climate, permanent inland water areas are rare, making the wetlands an extremely important habitat for birds and other wildlife. Many of the birds observed here are migratory, stopping to rest before continuing their migration.
