Middle East’s largest subway station opened in Tehran
As the largest subway station in the Middle East, ‘Sun City’ (Shahr-e-Aftab) subway station was became operational Monday at a ceremony attended by Tehran Governor and some members of Tehran Islamic City Council.
Located in line 1 of Tehran Subway at the end of Tehran-Parand metro junction, the station has been constructed to facilitate commute to Shahr-e-Aftab International Exhibition Complex.
The newly-established Sun City is ready to host this year’s edition of the Tehran International Book Fair (May 5-15).

The station covers an area of 25,000 sq m and is approximately three times larger than the country’s normal subway stations.
Before completion of the project, Tajrish station with a land area of 15,000 sq m was registered as the Middle East’s largest subway station.
Shahr Aftab subway station has been constructed in Iranian-Islamic style and it is inspired by Chehel Sotoun pavilion in Isfahan and is compatible with the architecture of Shahr Aftab International Exhibition Site.
