Karbala; A Holy Site



Karbala, Iraq is a place of pilgrimage for many Shi’a Islamists because the tomb of Husayn, Muhammad’s grandson is there. Also the tomb of Husain is in Karbala and it is believed to be the site of the camp where he and his followers became martyrs for the Islamic faith after they were mascaraed.
Karbala is a very popular pace during the commemorations of Ashura.
