The Slovakian tourist added that, “The flow of visitors to Iraq proves that the country is increasingly enjoying more security and stability, noting that, “Iraqis are so friendly and welcoming of their guests.”

In his speech about the holy cities, Peluha said that, “A foreign tourist, who visits holy cities, should comply with the culture and traditions, such as clothes and the hijab wearing for women.”

He explained that, “Holy Karbala and Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf are considered the holiest cities as they continually host mourning ceremonies of AhlulBayt, peace be upon them, especially the Tenth of Muharram and the Arbaeen Pilgrimage of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him.”
