Quotation:
“Iraq has been my second home since I can remember. The incredible spiritual impact this holy land has kept me engaged as far as I can remember. It is spiritual world that keeps revealing new secrets and hence holding gems that are always waiting to be explored. Experience the life changing impact of the shrines, cities and the serenity that proximity to the Imams has to offer. No matter who you are or where you are from, there is something about the Holy Shrines that will never leave you.”
