Dubai Crocodile Park to open in 2017

The Dubai Crocodile Park opening postponed

The Dubai Crocodile Park is set to open at the end of 2017. Juma Al Fuqae, director of the property management department and Vice Chairman of the Investment Committee at Dubai Municipality, said 43 per cent of work has been completed on this first-of-a-kind project in the Middle East. He added that the opening has been postponed to allow for the proper preparation of the park, which will facilitate hundreds of crocodiles to grow and reproduce naturally, and will be set up to emulate the Crocodile Park in France. The Dubai Crocodile Park is set to be a tourist destination and an environmental sanctuary that will contribute to the preservation of crocodiles.
