Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran – 3 Jamadi al Thani

Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran is timed so that the group is standing in Qom for the majalis of 3 Jamadi al Thani, not reading about them after the fact. Karwan-e-Habib departs Karachi on 10th November 2026 and the fourteen days are split evenly between Mashhad and Qom, with the overland leg taken by train. Rs 255,000 per person covers the Iran visa, return air tickets, hotels, meals and ground transport. Passports must reach our office by 10 October 2026 and seats are limited.

Why travel for Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran

Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran is built around one thing: standing in Qom during the majalis for Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a) rather than reading about them afterwards. The mourning days of 3 Jamadi al Thani are observed in Iran on a scale that is difficult to describe to anyone who has not seen it. In Qom the azadari runs from late evening into the night, the bazaars around the Haram shut, and the city moves on a single rhythm for several days. That atmosphere cannot be reproduced at home, and it is the reason most of our pilgrims book Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran rather than travelling at a quieter point in the year.

Mashhad supplies the other half of the journey. Six nights beside the Haram of Imam Ali Raza (a.s) means you are not rushing ziyarat between connecting flights. You can go for every namaz if you wish, sit in the sehan at a time of day that suits you, and still have the evenings free.

Cities covered in the 14 day itinerary

The programme is split evenly between two cities. In Mashhad you have six nights for the Haram of Imam Ali Raza (a.s), the Gohar Shad mosque and the museums inside the shrine complex. In Qom you have six nights for the shrine of Hazrat Masuma-e-Qom (s.a), Masjid-e-Jamkaran, and the majalis of Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran that the whole trip is timed around.

The leg from Mashhad to Tehran is taken by train rather than by road or a domestic flight. It is comfortable, it saves a night of hotel cost, and it means the group arrives together.

Hotels, meals and transport

Pilgrims stay at Hotel Mashad or similar in Mashhad and Hotel Al Zehra or similar in Qom, both chosen for walking distance to the Haram rather than for a star rating on paper. During Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran that distance matters more than anything else in the hotel description, because the majalis finish late and nobody wants a bus ride afterwards.

Meals are provided throughout on the fixed programme. Ground transport between the airport, the hotels and the ziyarat points is arranged by us, as is the Mashhad to Tehran train.

Who accompanies the group

The group travels with Maulana Ali Afzaal Rizvi, with Muslim Raza Mehdavi joining as guest Nohakhuwan. For Ayyam-e-Fatimiya that is not a detail: the majalis held within the group, in Urdu, are a large part of why pilgrims from Pakistan choose a Karwan-e-Habib Iran Ziyarat package over arranging the trip alone.

What Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran costs from Pakistan

The package is Rs 255,000 per person from Karachi, approximately USD 910. Departures from Islamabad and Lahore carry an additional USD 120 for the connecting sector. A ground package at USD 450 is available for pilgrims arranging their own air ticket; it covers hotels, meals, transport and the ziyarat programme but not the flight.

Cost is subject to visa policy and airfare fluctuations, and the exchange rate applied to the USD amount is the one on the date of actual payment. Airport taxes, cancellation charges and costs arising from delays sit outside the package, as they do with every operator.

Passports, the Iran visa and booking

Passports must reach our Karachi office by 10 October 2026. The Iran visa is processed as a group file, so one late passport holds up the application for everyone on the departure, which is why that date is firm rather than indicative. Our guide to the Iran visa for Pakistani nationals explains what the file needs.

Seats on Ayyam-e-Fatimiya in Iran are limited and this group fills earlier than most, because the dates are fixed by the Islamic calendar and cannot be moved. If Iraq is also on your mind this season, our current Ziyarat and Umrah departures list every group that is running.

The second Ayam-e-Fatimiya is 3 Jamadi al Thani. Our guide to the Ayam-e-Fatimiya 2026 dates explains both observances and when each falls.
