1. 5.0 The Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain (91 reviews)
   - Karbala Experience
   Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
   
   
   Visiting the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain and the nearby Holy Shrine Of Abu Fadhl Al-Abbas is an important and worthwhile experience for non-Myslims as well as well as Muslins. Both are very beautiful and welcoming. There was no pressure to worship and no feeling of intruding. Observing the sincere devotion of worshippers, not all of whom were Shi'a, was impressive and moving. I visited the area with my driver/guide, Samer +964 770 889 9285, who became a friend.
