Iran is to launch tourism offices to guide tourists at religious sites across the country's southwestern province of Fars.

Two guidance offices for foreign tourists has already been opened in Ali Ibn Hamzeh Holly Shrine and Nasir ol Molk Mosque in Shiraz, a local media report said on Tuesday.

“We plan to expand the offices to all other holy places of Fars Province,” said a religious official, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi.

The religious official added that the tour guides who are to work at the tourism offices are fluent in different languages.
