Border and documents
Crossing: Munthiriya – Khosravi crossing (or Mehran – Zurbatiya from the Middle Euphrates)
A valid passport; check the current entry rule for Iraqi citizens (visa or exemption). In pilgrimage seasons border processing is slow, and on most trips you switch to an Iranian car after the crossing.
How the trip works
The driver collects you from your address in Erbil and heads via Khanaqin and the Munthiriya crossing (or Mehran from Wasit). At the crossing you step out for exit and entry stamps, then continue in the same car or a car from the other side, depending on the agreed arrangement. The whole-car price is fixed, covers driver and fuel, and is confirmed before departure together with the departure hour and stops.
