This hall is equipped with all modern audio-visual devices, which are used both for local conferences and for international conventions.  The large conference hall is constructed in two stories. The ceiling of first floor is decorated with plaster moulding on convex mirrors and its walls are embellished with wooden fret works whose surface are painted and are decorated with the same designs of the ceiling. This work is done so dexterously that at the first sight the distinction of the wooden works from the plaster mouldings is almost impossible.  The ground floor of this hall which, is considered the main assembly hall, is equipped with an apparatus of simultaneous translation. Also it contains 500 seats. The ceiling of this hall is decorated with seventeen wooden moqarnases, which are in turn decorated with plaster moulding, mirror encrusted stalactites and painting. The spaces between wooden moqarnases are plaster moulded and painted. Around the hall, in the upper parts of the walls, is decorated with plaster rows and the walls are arcade with Saljuk designs.
