Our first journey
The journey
In the summer of 2026, Safar e Hur accompanied its first group of pilgrims to Iraq for Arbaeen. The journey ran from 29 July to 9 August 2026, beginning in Baghdad, with stays in Kadhimiya, Najaf and Karbala.
Pilgrims were free to make the walk to Karbala in the way that suited them: the whole route, part of it, or not at all, with their hotel in Karbala ready for them throughout. The programme included guided visits to Masjid al-Kufa and Masjid al-Sahla.
There was intentionally no fixed internal programme. Each pilgrim was free to spend time in the haram, to attend the majalis and processions of their choice, and to give the days to worship and reflection in their own way.
