Salman Shahr (Persian: سلمان‌شهر), also Romanized as Salmānŝahr; formerly known as Motel Qu or Motel Ghoo (متل قو), ^[3] is a city in, and the capital of, Salmanshahr District of Abbasabad County, Mazandaran province, Iran.^[4] It is 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of Tonekabon en route to the city of Chalus.

At the 2006 census, its population was 9,592 in 2,605 households, when it was in the former Abbasabad District of Tonekabon County.^[5] The following census in 2011 counted 8,654 people in 2,560 households,^[6] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Abbasabad County, and the city was in the newly formed Kelarabad District.^[4] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 9,656 people in 3,057 households,^[2] when the district's name had changed to Salmanshahr District.^[7]

Economy[edit]

Tourism is an important part of the city's economy.^[8] 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.
