Xghajra (pronounced Shayra) is a small village of about 1600 inhabitants located on the eastern coast of Malta, on the outskirts of Zabbar. Xghajra is a Maltese word referring to an open heath, and its pretty seaside location led to its beginnings as a seaside resort for the Maltese living in the older surrounding villages, and it also attracted amateur fishermen. In Summer the population of Xghajra almost doubles. Another war-time related place of interest is Wartime gun-post in the Swali Area where you can also enjoy a nice sea-view
