Mashhad is the anchor of most itineraries
The shrine of Imam Raza (AS), alongside the adjacent Goharshad Mosque, is the primary Ziyarat site for almost every Pakistani pilgrim visiting Iran. Most trips are built around 4-5 nights based in Mashhad.

What to compare
Qom adds the shrine of Hazrat Masooma (AS)
Qom, home to the shrine of Hazrat Masooma (AS) and Iran's major religious seminaries, is usually added as a 2-3 night extension to a Mashhad-based trip rather than visited alone.
Currency and dress code need planning ahead, not on arrival
Foreign bank cards do not work in Iran due to international sanctions — currency exchange must be pre-arranged before travel. Modest dress (headscarf and full-length coat for women, a chador at shrine entrances) is mandatory throughout the trip, not just inside shrines.
Common questions
Clear answers before you decide
Do Pakistanis need a visa for Iran Ziyarat?
Yes. Pakistani passport holders typically get a visa on arrival at Mashhad or Tehran airport, though pre-arranging through your operator is recommended to avoid delays at the airport.
Can I use my bank card in Iran?
No. Due to international sanctions, foreign cards do not work in Iran. Currency exchange needs to be pre-arranged before you travel — confirm this is handled as part of your package.
How many days does a typical Iran Ziyarat trip take?
Most Mashhad-focused trips run 5 nights. Adding Qom usually extends this to 7-8 nights, and adding Tehran extends it further to 9-10 nights.
