Three wildly disparate attractions 鈥 a museum of Islamic art, a heritage village and a reptile park 鈥 are on offer at this strange tourist attraction next to the Taguermes Lighthouse. The most popular element is 'Crocodile Island', an enclosure where semi-somnolent crocs recline on rocks in a large pool and are fed by keepers in a theatrical thrice-weekly spectacle. Even more impressive is the Lalla Hadria Museum, which showcases a world-class collection of calligraphy, costumes, ceramics, bronze work and carpets from Islamic countries.
Though well intentioned, the small heritage zone is underwhelming. It includes a 丑农肠丑 (house for an extended family built in the shape of a fort) with a makhzen dhi膩f (greeting lodge), han奴t al fakh'khar (pottery workshop), matbakh (external kitchen), h'ovanet en'c墨ja (weaving hut) and 尘芒补蝉蝉谤补 (oil mill and press).
The large, modern whitewashed complex includes souvenir shops and a few restaurants and cafes.
