Ghar Hassan (Hassan's Cave) is a natural cave located on the edge of the impressive Dingli Cliffs on the south side of Malta.

To reach the cave, one has to walk down steps cut out of the face of the cliffs. One of the passages leads to a window in the face of the cliffs and the view of the Mediterranean Sea from there is awesome. You can practically look down the face of the cliffs to the deep blue water as if you were suspended from the top of the cliffs.

The cave gets its name from a legendary Saracen named Hassan, who supposedly lived in the cave with his harem.

Ghar Hassan can be reached along the road that connects Kalafrana and Hal Far airport, an old British Air Force field on the south-east corner of the island. A path from the road which leads to the edge of the cliff face.
