Imam Hussain's Shrine

Reviewed By RamiY_11 - Chicago, United States

The interior of this Shrine, (as well as Imam Ali's Shrine in Najaf ) are superlative! They both attest to Persians' refined skills in decorating with mirror mosaics and chandeliers.Iraqis, unlike Iranians, allow non-Muslims to enter and take pictures.

Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib Shrine

Reviewed By travelholic99 - Hong Kong, China

The Shrine is the most impressive and beautiful shrine we visited during our 12 days tour. We were all very amazed by its elegant and gorgeous architecture, and the peacefulness and friendliness of the people, both the visitors and the staff inside the shrine. It's a life time experience to all of us indeed.

Al-Jawadain Holy Shrine

Reviewed By MaithamA - Baghdad, Iraq

Muslims around the world gather to pay a visit to the holy shrines of Imam Al-Jawadain, the grandsons of Prophet Mohammed, around the year. It’s the best place to seek calmness, pray, enjoy the architecture and live the history all combined. Through the way, you will be enjoying the walk through the old bazars of Kadhomaih and its people.

Lalish Temple

Reviewed By EdinKrnic - Tuzi, Montenegro

This is holly place for Yazidi people. The best solution to come here is to get taxi from Dohuk, Erbil or Mosul. I already pay 35000 dinars from Dohuk and I spent there 3 hours. Anyone who want to visit this holly lace I recommend to get one more pair socks because there is forbidden to enter with shoes. In winter time get warmer socks because there is very cold.
