Joining a KBM Tours group from California
California pilgrims travel a long way to the shrines, so planning matters. Many fly to New York the day before and rest overnight before the group flight; others meet the group in Iraq.
1. Meet the group at JFK
Fly from Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO) to New York and join the group flight to Baghdad. We can help time your connection.
2. Or meet us in Iraq
Fly from your nearest airport straight to Baghdad or Najaf and join the group on arrival. We coordinate your pickup.
3. Book from home
Everything is arranged by WhatsApp and phone from California: visa guidance, flights, hotels and payment.
