I still remember the day I booked my first Ziyarat tour with Aliya Travels. My heart was full of longing. I had always dreamt of visiting the sacred places in Iraq and Iran. This tour made that dream come true.
The Journey Begins
From the moment I left India, everything was perfectly arranged. The Aliya Travels team was there to guide us at every step. We were welcomed warmly in Najaf, the holy city of Imam Ali (a.s.). As we stood before his roza, tears flowed. The spiritual feeling is hard to describe in words.
“Standing in front of the shrine of Amir al-Mu’minin was the most peaceful moment of my life. Thank you, Aliya Travels, for this chance.”
– Zainab Fatima, Lucknow
Peace in Karbala
Karbala was next. The land of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and his brave companions. We did ziyarat of Hazrat Abbas (a.s.), and felt a deep sense of connection with the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.).
The Ziyarat recitations, the shared duas, and the nightly majlis made the experience even more meaningful. Our guide explained every site with Islamic history from the Shia perspective. It wasn’t just a trip – it was ilm and ibadat together.
“Aliya Travels gave us a complete spiritual journey. Every moment in Karbala felt like we were living the history of Ashura.”
– Abbas Rizvi, Hyderabad
Organized and Respectful
Our hotel stays were clean, close to the harams, and food was arranged on time – even with special consideration for rozas. The group had elderly zaireen, and the staff gave special care to them.
“I was traveling with my parents. Aliya Travels helped with wheelchairs, slow-paced tours, and personal attention. They treated my family like their own.”

Touching Iran
We visited Mashhad, the holy shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.). Then to Qom, for the ziyarat of Bibi Masuma (s.a.). Our hearts were full. The group shared ziyarat-namas, and we prayed together. It felt like a small ummat on a sacred mission.
“Iran was beautiful, clean, and full of nur. I never thought a travel agency could make me feel so close to my imaan.”
– Ali Naqvi, Delhi
My first ziyarat tour with Aliya Travels was life-changing. I left with more than memories – I left with noor, duas, and a stronger connection to the Imams (a.s.).
If you are thinking of going for ziyarat, I highly recommend Aliya Travels. It’s not just a tour, it’s a journey of the soul.
“Aliya Travels made me feel like I was walking with the lovers of Ahlul Bayt. I can’t wait for my next trip with them.”
– Sakina Ali, Chennai
