The story begins on Eid al-Ghadeer after the Holy Prophet’s (pbuh) last Hajj. The story unveils as Imam Hussein (A.S), his family and companions leave Madina al Munawarah and arrive in Karbala 51 years later. This is a journey with no end.

It is our journey to continue and instill into our daily lives. Millions of pilgrims mourn in Karbala every year, yet it still remains a distant journey that each and
every Shia longs to make.

Karbala is in our hearts and our souls. It is the nal home of our Imam (A.S) and Hazrat Abbas (A.S).

REMEMBRANCE

And the faithful walk upon foot for their pilgrimage, those in Karbala will be blessed once they seek salvation... The tragedy of Karbala, the grief and the nal moments of our Imam’s (A.S) life are engraved into our lives. All sacri ces deserve remembrance. The greatest of sacrifices deserves the greatest of remembrance.

Your pilgrimage to Karbala should not be infrequent. You now have the ability to own your home in Karbala. Al Rawdatain Residences by Shaza ensures Karbala is accessible to all and moreover, a gift for your future generations

OUR JOURNEY TO KARBALA

Karbala Today

Karbala is a place, where both young and old follow the path of Imam Hussein (A.S). Each year over twenty million pilgrims pay homage in Karbala during the months of Muharram and Safar alone, yet this city of martyrs’ faces a severe scarcity of the most basic accommodation for its guests.

Currently, all hotels in Karbala face intense burden to cater to the growing number of pilgrims. This pressure manifests itself in the diminution of our sacred journey and our spiritual experience.

A contemporary, luxury, lifestyle brand, a Shaza Hotel represents a modern interpretation of ancient Eastern hospitality, with an emphasis on values and culture. Properties are design-led, to inspire, surprise and ensure a unique experience to our guests. Shaza focuses on the guest experience and ensures a highly personalised service style.

At Al Rawdatain Residences – like all Shaza properties – there is special attention also given to the needs of the family. An educational kid’s club is not simply designed to take care of children, but to provide them with inspiration and knowledge for their life’s journey

An enchanting, vibrant and dynamic world of fun revolves around 3 pillars: education, entertainment and exploration, through such facilities as a book corner, arcade room, playground, and arts and crafts zone. A soft play area is also provided for babies and toddlers. At Shaza, we understand the importance of family. Those with special needs will be cared for with space and ease of access, while Wi-Fi and internet connections will be available both for work and pleasure. Shaza has ambitious plans to open 25 – 30 hotels by 2016, and will provide the space, richness and inspirational qualities that discerning guests demand in a range of niche markets. Shaza Hotels will also include a collection of small boutique hotels with an historic connection, as part of the “Shaza Collection” – ultra luxurious, historic buildings that are small and intimate. The rst Shaza hotel opened in Al Madinah – the second most holy city in Islam – in December 2010 and other openings are scheduled throughout the next ve years in Iraq, Iran, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Saudi Arabia and Morocco. Shaza is a management company which operates hotels on behalf of the property owners, but it will also acquire approximately 10 properties via direct investment. A joint venture between Guidance Hotel Investment Company based in Paris, and Kempinski Hotels S.A. based in Geneva, Shaza is not a branch of Kempinski, but a new independent brand which bene ts from the operational expertise of Kempinski’s 113 years of hospitality experience.
