Arbaeen 2027 from USA & Canada

Walk from Najaf to Karbala for the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (as) with a KBM Tours group from New York. Arbaeen 1449 is expected in late July 2027, subject to moon sighting.

The walk

The Arbaeen walk to Karbala

Arbaeen marks forty days after Ashura. Each year millions of pilgrims walk from Najaf to Karbala, served along the road by volunteer mawkibs offering food, water and rest.

A KBM Tours Arbaeen group gives American families a hotel base, transport, and a team that walks with you, so elders can join part of the walk and ride the rest.
