Yes — we handle the complete visa process for both countries. You will generally need a passport valid for at least 6 months, two white-background photos and your CNIC. We advise submitting documents and payment around three weeks before departure, especially for Arbaeen and Muharram. Visa rules change, so our team confirms the exact current requirements at booking.
A group package offers fixed departures, shared AC transport, hotels near the Haram and a shared Aalim at the most economical price — ideal for first-time zaireen and families. A private or family package gives flexible dates, a private vehicle, higher-star hotels and a dedicated guide. Both cover the same core ziyarat; we'll recommend the right fit for you.
Yes — we operate dedicated departures for Arbaeen, Ashura and occasions such as 21 Ramadhan in Najaf. These peak seasons fill very quickly and are priced and dated separately, so early booking is strongly recommended.
Absolutely. Our kaflas are built around the comfort of families, elders and women — hotels close to the Haram, AC transport, daily meals and a coordinator throughout. Wheelchair assistance can be arranged. Note that for visa approval, women under about 45 are generally advised to travel with a Mahram or within a family group, subject to embassy approval.
A passport valid 6+ months, two recent white-background photos and your CNIC. Overseas Pakistani zaireen should carry a valid NICOP/POC with their passport. A vaccination certificate may be required for certain seasons. We give you a precise, up-to-date checklist once your departure is confirmed.
