About The Golden Opportunities
Testimonials
“I had never been to Iraq before and was nervous to come for Arbaeen. But from the moment I landed, I felt taken care of — spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The Golden Opportunities team treated us like family. The itinerary was thoughtful, the scholars were incredible, and I experienced something I can only describe as life-changing. I’m already saving to return next year, insha’Allah.”
– Fatima A., Toronto“This was my third Arbaeen with The Golden Opportunities, and each time it just gets better. The level of organization, the access to knowledgeable scholars, and the love poured into every moment of the journey — it’s unmatched. I’ve traveled with others before, but no one delivers the kind of spiritual depth and professionalism this team brings. I’ll be back again in 2025, no question.”
– Ali R., Houston“I brought my entire family with me for Arbaeen this year after joining solo in 2023. It was the best decision I’ve made. The kids were supported, my elderly parents were assisted every step of the way, and I could actually focus on the ziyarat without worrying. The Golden Opportunities group really does serve every pilgrim with dignity — just like they promise.”
– Zahra M., Vancouver“This trip didn’t just change how I see the world — it changed how I see myself. Being with The Golden Opportunities group during Arbaeen allowed me to connect deeply with my faith, meet people who are now like family, and walk the journey from Najaf to Karbala in the most meaningful way possible. I never thought I’d be able to do it, but now I can’t imagine not going again next year.”
Mohammed K., London (UK)“The process of booking the Iran, Iraq, and Umrah trip for December was so smooth. I expected it to be overwhelming, but Ali (group organizer) broke everything down step by step — from flight prices and how to book, to visa costs and hotel room configurations. Within a few days, I had everything I needed and felt completely at ease. I’ve traveled before, but I’ve never felt so supported from the moment I paid the deposit. I honestly can’t wait to go.”
– Nadim H., Montreal“I had so many questions before I signed up and not once did I feel like I was bothering anyone. Whether I messaged them on Instagram, WhatsApp, or emailed, I always got a clear and warm response, sometimes within minutes. That kind of accessibility made all the difference. You can tell they actually care about their zawwaar. It’s not just a transaction for them, it’s more of a relationship.”
– Sarah J., New Jersey“I was nervous to travel alone, especially as a woman. But the moment I landed and saw the Golden Opportunities Representative, I knew I had nothing to worry about. The sisters in the group welcomed me instantly. Everything felt safe, well-organized, and spiritually fulfilling. By the end, I didn’t feel like a solo traveler — I felt like I’d found a new family.”
