What the app carries for you

Built for the road, not the map on a shelf.

Every feature answers something a pilgrim actually needs between Najaf and Karbala — most of it built to work with no signal at all.

Offline route maps

The full 72 km path preloaded onto your phone, tile by tile, so the walk stays mapped even with no data connection.

Live milestone alerts

A gentle nudge as you pass each of the route's waypoints, so you always know how far you've come, and how far is left.

Ziyarat & dua companion

The rites and supplications for each stage of the walk, laid out for the moment you need them — day or night.

Family check-in

Share your live location with loved ones back home, so distance from signal never means distance from those waiting on you.

Route, mile by mile

The road is long. The app just makes sure you're never unsure where you are on it.

Frequently asked questions.

Still unsure about something? Reach out through the Contact form above.

Yes. The app is free for every pilgrim, with no ads and no in-app purchases. It's built as a service for the walk, not a business.

Yes. Route maps, milestone markers, and ziyarat content are all downloaded to your phone in advance, so the core features work fully offline along the walk.

Yes, Arbaeen Companion is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, with the same features on each platform.

Location tracking is tuned for long walks — it checks position at set intervals rather than continuously, and there's a low-power mode for the longer stretches of the route.

Only if you choose to share it. Family check-in is opt-in, and you can turn it on or off at any point during your walk.

Arbaeen Companion currently supports English, Arabic, and Urdu, with more languages planned ahead of future Arbaeen seasons.
