Traveling Iraq Arbaeen Walk Najaf To Karbala City Middle East 2019 I’m traveling Iraq and taking part in the Arbaeen walk. The Arba’een Pilgrimage is the world’s largest annual public gathering that is held every year in Karbala, Iraq at the end of the 40-day mourning period following Ashura, the religious ritual for the commemoration of the martyrdom of the grandson of Prophet Mohammad and the third Shia Muslim Imam, Husayn ibn Ali’s in 680.
How long is the Arbaeen Walk?
Every year, a march is organized in which Muslims (mainly Shia Muslims) walk approximately 92 kilometers from Najaf city to Karbala. The whole route is divided into 1,452 poles for the ease of pilgrims, where the distance between each pole is 50 meters.
Shia cities, towns, and villages all over Iraq empty out during a 20-day period as their people take to the roads in an elaborately organized and well-protected mass movement not seen anywhere else in the world. Estimates vary of the total attending, from highs of 15-17 million to a low of 6-7 million, but it includes at least two million Iranians whose numbers are easier to calculate because they require documentation to enter Iraq.
