LONDON, July 23 (IranMania) - The deputy director of the Qeshm Free Trade Zone Organization said that a tourist and recreational complex for non-Muslims will be established on the Persian Gulf island of Qeshm. Islamic law and some restrictions will not be enforced at the tourist complex, Ali-Akbar Einollahi told the Persian service of the Cultural Heritage News (CHN) agency. He said that an agency named Marina, owned by an Iranian Christian woman, has obtained a license for the complex and a beach to be shared by men and women, which would be the first of its kind in Iran since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. | I'd wager that "license" cost her a pretty penny and she has a few "unlisted partners" wearing turbans. |
Iranian Muslims will not be allowed to enter the complex.| But they'll know all about it. Some will wonder why they can't do the same and a few will try to stop it. |
"We can promote tourism through this action by preventing Iranian non-Muslims as well as foreign tourists from spending their money at tourist resorts of nearby countries like Dubai (UAE)," Einollahi explained. | Greed, it's a beautiful thing |
"The land for the complex has been transferred to the agency, and the plans are being prepared. Part of the cost will be covered by a long-term loan from Iran's Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization," he said in conclusion. |
