Economy

Tourism serves as a primary source of revenue for the city.^[8] In the late 2000s, a significant development and construction initiative known as "Gou" or "Diamond of the Middle East" commenced. The foundation of these projects was established on the same location as the Gou Motel. This extensive complex, which encompasses commercial, residential, tourist, sports, and entertainment facilities, features a 5-star luxury hotel named the Swan, two 25-story residential twin towers, the Negin Pouria commercial tower, a sports complex, and a six-story parking garage designed in the form of a massive ship.
