This live camera looks out over Karbala, a city in central Iraq that draws pilgrims and visitors throughout the year. The feed is embedded from its source, so you can check the scene as it is right now. Use the page to follow conditions in the city before you plan a trip or simply keep an eye on it from abroad.

A city on the edge of the desert

Karbala lies in the Karbala Governorate on the western side of the Euphrates, close to the start of the Iraqi desert. It is best known as one of the most important centres of pilgrimage in the Shia Muslim world, home to the shrines of Imam Husayn and his half-brother Abbas. The surrounding land is flat and open, and the city's skyline is shaped by domes, minarets and the tall palms that grow along the irrigated fields to the south and east.

What the feed can show

Because this camera belongs to the Alkafeel network and is listed under general views, its exact framing is best judged by the live player itself. Depending on the angle, you may see the city's streets, religious buildings or open ground with the sky. Activity tends to be busiest during religious observances and on weekends, while early mornings and late afternoons often bring softer light and cooler air. Check the current weather on this page before you watch.

Climate and planning a visit

Karbala has a hot desert climate. Summers are very hot and dry, often above 40 °C from June to August, so the cooler months from November to March are generally the most comfortable for visiting. Spring can be pleasant too. Local travel is most easily done by taxi or car, and the city is compact enough that the main sacred sites are close together around the old centre.
