This property, covering 6,232 square metres, is designated for a commercial complex. Additionally, 19 agricultural properties in Buri and Hoorat A'ali, ranging in size from 5,616.2 to 8,251.3 square metres, will be available for investment to boost agricultural activities in these key areas. The bidding period for these properties will remain open until May 11.
