And today we stand on the final stage of cladding the Qibla Gate Street to the Holy Shrine, which coincided with the ongoing preparations for Ziyarat Arba'een, as this street is one of the most important streets for the passage of visitors and condolences processions.

This was preceded by works that were all in the service of the visitor and the Hussaini processions, and after that we will determine the paths for the passage of the condolences processions and the places where the service processions will be located, in a way that contributes to creating a state of flow and freedom of movement.
