Meymand is located a few miles east of Firuzabad and about 70 miles (110 km) from Shiraz.[2] 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.[2] Shafaq cave is located nearby. The district also produces great quantities of almonds.[2]

In 1961, Meymand became a city after consensus with the three villages of Meymand-e Sofla, Meymand-e Olya and Shabankareh.
