Featuring high quality and standard medical services along with low-cost treatments, Shiraz, is an ideal medical tourism destination in the world. Favorable weather condition, elegant hotels, conformable lodging houses and hostels, recreation facilities, luxurious residential and lots of historical and cultural attractions highlight the city as an excellent choice for medical tourists.
