): For those fascinated by crocodiles, the Djerba Explore Park in Djerba is a perfect place for a close encounter. Explore the park, home to hundreds of Nile River crocodiles that at full growth can be 6 metres in length! The sight of these humongous creatures, some with their jaws open, sunning themselves in placid pools and the tropical glasshouse will send a shiver down your spine. Known as a "man-eater", the creatures have been hated, revered especially in ancient Egypt where crocodiles were mummified, and even worshipped.
Resembling a medieval castle in a recreated desert landscape, the park is amazingly beautiful and is the largest crocodile farm in the Mediterranean. Learn more about these crocodiles from the staff at the park, and through the many informational posters placed throughout the park. This is an interesting activity on a day at leisure in Djerba
