Our Services
We provide a full end-to-end ziarat experience which takes care of all the logistics and administration of the journey for you. We have developed our itinerary over the last decade to ensure our group is able to attend all the holy sites at the optimal times in the most comfortable way, meaning that we strike the perfect balance between making the most of your limited time within Iraq, while giving you enough time to rest while attending all the major events of the ashura period.
Modern facilities, traditional values
We are the only travel group that provides reliable Wifi for all our group members when outside the hotels, as well as group video calls for your chosen family members back home to share the moments with you when inside the harams.
