“We came from Bahrain. The Iraqi and Bahraini authorities facilitated our coming to the holy city of Karbala. The measures at the Iraqi airport were very easy and simple. Then we came from Najaf to Karbala on foot. We didn't face any obstacle,” one the pilgrims said.

“The security measures are good. The security plan for this year is very accurate and precise. There were cars giving us lifts to and from Karbala,” another pilgrim emphasized.
