Millions of pilgrims descending on Karbala to commemorate Arbaeen
Pilgrims travel to the holy city to have a chance to touch the gilded grille that surrounds Imam Hussein’s tomb and slip messages through the bars.
They carry their belongings in backpacks or bags perched on their heads as they move toward Karbala on foot from different directions. Many young men carry tents so that they can sleep on the streets.
