Meymand is a few miles east of Firuzabad and about from Shiraz. Its population is almost wholly occupied with the manufacture and sale of rose water, which is largely exported to many parts of Iran as well as to Arabia, India and Java. Shafaq Cave is located nearby. The district also produces great quantities of almonds.
