There are moments in life when you lose yourself in the rush of emotions. Let’s head to top spiritual destinations and experience one of those moments as your eyes fall on the golden dome of holy shrines that have housed significant religious figures who are called by hundreds of people whispering all around their shrines. The atmosphere fills everyone, both Muslims and non-Muslims who visit this place with wonder.

Forty days after Ashura, the day named after the martyrdom of Imam Hossein in Karbala, you can come and join the largest international human gathering of real lovers; with whom their wives and children seek the path of faith with their bare feet. Walk with them in the direction of Karbala, and experience what these Zuwaars feel during this awe-inspiring journey, hear them telling the world of their extraordinary resolutions to God and wows to their Imam to stand with the oppressed and defy injustice and cruelty just like Imam Husayn himself. You also get to meet people who do their share by helping the pilgrims with drinks, food and everything.

In the commemoration of their third Shia Imam, Muslims gather and commemorate the tragic event of Karbala and draw outlandish scenes all over the world, especially in Iran, Najaf, and Karbala. Ashura, religious rituals, and celebrations like that of Imam Reza’s Birthday in his holy shrine have become threads interwoven into Persian culture. Join the people of Persia in these rituals and get to know about their religious culture.

Taste a bit of Persian cuisine on your pilgrimage. Iranians are best known for their hospitality and generosity. Muslims believe in the blessings sent from God and they distribute different Persian foods among the poor and the people during the religious rituals and holidays as a pledge to their God and they believe in the magical advantages of this food for the sick and the poor.
