Karbala, Arabic: كَرْبَلَاء‎, Karbalā’, کربلاء, Kerbala, is a city in central Iraq, located about 100 km southwest of Baghdad, and a few miles east of Lake Milh. Karbala is the capital of Karbala Governorate, and has an estimated population of 700,000 people . The city, best known as the location of the Ma'rakat Karbalā' in 680 CE, or the Masjidayn of Imam Husayn and Abbas, is considered a holy city for Shi'ite Muslims in the same way as Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. Tens of millions of Shi'ite Muslims visit the site twice a year, rivaling Mecca as a place of pilgrimage. The martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali is commemorated annually by millions of Shi'ites. Up to 8 million pilgrims visit the city to observe ‘Āshūrā’ , which marks the anniversary of Husayn's death, but the main event is the Arba‘īn , where up to 30 million visit the holy graves. Most of the pilgrims travel on foot from all around Iraq and more than 56 countries.
