Karbala Ziyarat from North America
Stand at the Haram of Imam Hussain (as) and Hazrat Abbas (as) with a KBM Tours family group. Hotels close to the shrines, guided Ziyarat, and departures from JFK.
Visiting Karbala with KBM Tours
Karbala is the heart of every KBM Tours group. We stay close to the Harams so families can return to the shrines for every namaz and spend the nights at Bayn al-Haramayn, the walkway between the shrine of Imam Hussain (as) and the shrine of Hazrat Abbas (as).
Our Shaban groups stay in Karbala at Jannat ul Hussain hotel, so pilgrims celebrate the Wiladat of Imam Hussain (as) and Imam-e-Zamana (atfs) at the shrines themselves.
