Geographical Location
The proposed location for the construction of the Equestrian and Horse Breeding Club is a 5.5-hectare land located in the Sufian village, 10 km away from Kalaleh. According to the administrative divisions of Iran, this village is located in the central part of Kalaleh city and in Tamran village. The proximity of the proposed site to the nature and to the residential areas has had a significant impact on the final plan.
