Over 10,000 tourists visit Malayer’s crocodile farm
Ebrahim Jalili said that this complex is considered one of the most popular and highly frequented destinations in Malayer, both at the regional and national levels, chtn.ir wrote.
He added that the Crocodile Farm ranks as the top ticketed attraction in the city during the Nowruz holidays. Despite wartime conditions, it has experienced approximately 10 percent growth in tourist numbers compared to the same period last year.
Jalili further noted that the Samen Underground Complex, with 1,700 visitors, and the Nushijan historical site, with 750 visitors, rank next in line.
Regarding the crocodile farm, Jalili explained that the complex is a beautiful, unique, and distinctive site in the tourism and economic sectors. It is one of the largest breeding centers in the country for this reptile — one that appears calm but is fearsome.
He clarified that since the summer of 2019, the crocodile breeding complex in Malayer has been open to tourists. Many enthusiasts visit the site on a daily basis. Currently, 11 crocodiles, each measuring over three meters in length, are kept at the facility. He stated that there are five agricultural tourism farms in Malayer, adding that with proper training and support from officials, the future of agricultural tourism in the city looks promising.
He noted that the Crocodile Farm is located seven kilometers from Malayer on the road to Arak, near Gourab village.
