The Imam Hussain Holy Shrine has announced the expansion of the Hussaini Camp (Mukhayyam Al-Hussaini) after acquiring the adjacent Hussainiyah Al-Bahraniyya building. The expansion was completed following the necessary approvals and mutual agreements between both parties in line with approved legal and administrative procedures.
The initiative comes ahead of the Arbaeen pilgrimage of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) and aims to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims by providing additional space and essential services during the pilgrimage period.
The Head of the Hussaini Camp Department, Mr. Fadhel Abu Dakka, told the Shrine’s official website, “The Engineering Affairs Department, in cooperation with our department and the Maintenance Department, began preparing the Hussainiyah Al-Bahraniyya building after it was officially acquired by the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine prior to the last Arbaeen pilgrimage.”
He explained that the previous structure was at risk of collapse and was therefore completely demolished. The ground was leveled and reinforced with concrete, making it suitable for temporary use during the Arbaeen pilgrimage. “The 680-square-meter area was then carpeted with suitable materials, equipped with cooling and lighting systems, and provided with essential services to ensure pilgrims’ comfort during their stay, whether for prayer, Quran recitation, or participation in Hussaini rituals,” Mr. Abu Dakka added.
He further mentioned that two new corridors were opened to connect the courtyard of the Hussaini Camp with the newly added section, along with two dedicated entry and exit gates to facilitate the movement of pilgrims and improve the organization of access to the holy site.
This project is part of the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine’s continuous efforts to improve the infrastructure surrounding the Hussaini Camp, in preparation for receiving millions of pilgrims and ensuring the best possible services and a comfortable spiritual atmosphere for all visitors.
