Economy

Tourism is an important part of the city's economy. In the late 2000s the major development and construction projects called "Qoo" or "Diamond of the Middle East" were kicked off. The core of these projects is built in the same place as where Motel Qoo was located. This vast complex of commercial, residential, tourist, sports, and entertainment include a 5-star hotel, two residential and commercial towers, a sports complex, and a six-story parking garage that is built in the form of a giant ship. This project has a total land area of 43,263 m2 (465,680 sq ft), where 173,000 m2 (1,860,000 sq ft) of it will be constructed as follows:

  • Residential high rise of Negin Pooya: Includes twin towers of 25 floors with 300 units of residential apartments.
  • Commercial high rise of Negin Poorya: Composed of three floors with its own entrance separate independent and separate from that of the residential tower.
