Mount Korek is a tourist attraction with Darin Group, an Iraqi company that built an approximately 4 kilometer long Doppelmayr Teleferic (cable car) from its Bekhal Bottom station to Mount Korek. The mountain was developed as an international destination, including 132 villas and several rides. The project is called The Korek Mountain Resort & Spa. There are also restaurants and cafes. The resort is a summer retreat providing cool environs when the whole region reels under high temperatures. During winters, it turns into a Ski Resort.
