The World's BIGGEST Pilgrimage (Karbala, Iraq)

WELCOME TO KARBALA, IRAQ. This is the site of the world's largest pilgrimage, where every October, over 15 MILLION Shia Muslims walk from neighboring countries to show respect to Imam Hussain's shrine (grandson of prophet Muhammad). Even though I am not visiting in October, I can feel the spirit in the air unlike any place I've ever been.
The mosques and mausoleums are STUNNING, and somehow, I got special VIP access into the back room to meet with the boss... and he gave me permission to film inside. This kind of permission is unheard of!
But my favorite thing about Karbala is the hospitality. You've probably noticed a theme by now - that the Middle East has the most hospitable people in the world and a perfect example of this is Karbala!
The main mosque provides hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of FREE meals to anyone who stops by. I've never seen anything like it in my life... And not only that, but the local people will open their doors to all visitors.
We randomly got invited into a family's home where they cooked us a 10 course meal.
All of that and more in this amazing episode, which I hope will change your perspective about Iraq.
If you're still reading this, just know that I love you and thanks so much for watching my videos and supporting me over the years. I am in my happiest place right now, traveling through Iraq proper, and I'm just so grateful to be able to share these stories with you. More to come next week!

As other people said in their comments, Karbala isn't the holiest place for shia muslims (but ONE of the most holiest places); Mecca, Madina & Jerusalem are the top 3 holiest places for all different branches of islam! 3.

Iraqis are Arab, but Iranians, are much more Shi'a (as in, a greater proportion of Iran is Shi'a) and in looks and practice, Shi'a is a different religion from Sunni (the Sunnis would probably deny this, though). So the vibe is *very* different.

[@jevandrocelo8769]

@@danielgerber7422 First: Iraqis are Arabic speaking people, not Arabs, similar to levant but most of people think they are Arabs mostly due the racism and hate of westerners, I'll quote Wikipedia's page ( demographics of Iraq): "Studies indicate that the different ethno-religious groups of Iraq and Mesopotamia share significant similarities in genetics and that Iraqi Arabs, who make up the majority of Iraqis, are genetically DISTINCT from other Arab populations in the Arabs of the Arabian peninsula." in this page you can also see the references of these genealogical DNA studies. second: Shia born in Iraq at the Rashidun caliphs and Iran adopt the Shia belief from Iraq after 5+ centuries from being a completely Sunni country, so this is the real place of Shia not Iran. third: what the hell are you talking about, Shia and Sunni Muslims belong to the same religion but with little differences. forth: stop the hate and ignorance Daniel boy and start to enlighten your mind with the real info's not the ones that white people wrote long ago, which are completely far from the reality.

[@danielgerber7422]

@@jevandrocelo8769 yes, but I meant Iranians are not Arab. Of course Arabs make up the majority of Shi'a, but the majority of Arabs are Sunni. I don't think many ethnologists will agree with you that Iraqis are not Arab. Arab is a broad group now which basically includes all Arabic-speaking people, with very different religions, skin colours, and physical environments. Iraq is a member of the Arab League, for example

Now, according to your mind set the beautiful African people of Sudan, Somalia, Comoros, ...etc. are Arabs!!! belonging to a specific political group, like the Arab League, have nothing to do with your real race.

As someone who's Shia I would like to point out a few points, Shia Islam isn't different from Islam. Karbala is not "like Mecca" to us. Mecca is Mecca. Karbala is a very important site and I'm glad you had the opportunity to go there. If I'm being honest, I wouldn't mind even if you had met me there and told me you were Jewish but I get that not everyone will share the same view and you just want to stay safe. As far as the executive room goes, even me, who has been to Karbala had never known something like that existed. Loved this video! You're lucky because Moharram is about to start in 20 days. You got to be there right before. You are living the life man! Wish you could be there when Moharram starts. You should definitely come back.

As a Shia Muslim I thank you for this video. This video made me cry, gave me goosebumps and at the same time gave me hope. BTW, for Shia Muslims Mecca, Medina and Al Quds and then Karbala are holy sites. Imam Hussein the grandson of Holy Prophet and his family and friends were killed by a criminal corrupt ruler called Yazid the son of Mawyia from the family of Ummayed. O people read about the event of Karbala see and learn how someone defends JUSTICE.
