The tourism centre in Amol has an allocated budget of approximately 680 billion rials. Its site covers around 11 hectares, of which 35,000 square metres are assigned to parking. Eight separate parking areas provide 1,376 spaces. The built footprint is 19,953 square metres. The fuel station is positioned so that travellers can use it without entering the complex.
The programme includes a play area, kitchen, storage, prayer space, an 800-person banquet hall and a flexible 485-person hall for theatre, exhibitions, cinema and conferences. There are indoor and outdoor restaurants, a café and 129 sleeping places in tents and two- or four-person cabins, each with its own outdoor space. The remaining covered areas accommodate general services.
A recirculating watercourse runs through the site. Beside the commercial centre it widens into a small lake for boating, forming part of the continuous water route along the complex’s covered spaces.
