Is it safe to travel to Karbala and Najaf?

The ziyarat corridor between Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf, Kadhimain and Samarra is well established and receives millions of pilgrims a year. Our groups travel in private coaches with a local operator and an accompanying leader, and we follow the routes and timings that are standard for pilgrim traffic.

Do you fly direct or via Dubai?

Both. Direct flights are quicker and suit elderly travellers; Dubai connections are usually cheaper and sometimes allow a stopover. Each package page states which flight type that departure uses.

How long is a typical Ziyarat group?

Eight to eleven days is normal, which allows several days in Karbala plus Najaf, Kadhimain and Samarra. Our fourteen-day KUN, Shaam and Jordan group extends the same trip into Syria and Jordan.
