Popular Flight Routes

Fast and Direct Travel

Flying gets you across the border quickly and safely. Since the cities are about 828 kilometers apart, a flight is much faster than the long hours you would spend on a bus or in a car on the highway.

How to Book Your Flight

Booking at the Right Time

If you want to get the best deal, planning ahead is the best strategy. Looking at the data, the best time to book your flight is about 6 weeks (or 40 days) before you plan to leave. This window usually gives you the most options at the best prices.

Choosing Your Travel Days

When you are looking at your calendar, keep an eye on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. These days often have better availability and can sometimes be a bit cheaper than other days of the week. Tuesdays are usually great for finding lower fares for your departure.

Airport Information

Departing from Shiraz

Your trip begins at Shiraz International Airport (SYZ). It’s a busy hub, so make sure to leave plenty of time to get to the airport. I suggest arriving at least three hours before your flight to handle your bags and get through passport control without any stress.

Arriving in Al-Najaf

You will land at Al-Najaf International Airport (NJF). It is the third-largest airport in Iraq and is well-prepared to handle travelers. Once you land and finish up at customs, finding a taxi into the city center is very easy. If you don't want to worry about finding a ride, you can book an airport transfer through our website so a driver is waiting for you the moment you walk out.

Flight Prices

Finding the Best Time to Go

Flight prices change quite a bit depending on the season. If you are looking for the cheapest time to fly, August is typically the best month to find a bargain because fewer people are traveling. On the other hand, November tends to be the busiest month, so if you are planning to travel then, try to book your tickets as early as you can to avoid higher costs.

A Brief Guide to Al-Najaf

Al-Najaf is one of the most significant and historic cities in Iraq. Most people who visit do so for the Imam Ali Shrine, a beautiful and massive structure with a golden dome that you can spot from far away.

The atmosphere in Al-Najaf is very different from Shiraz. It is almost always busy, filled with people from all over the world who have come to visit the holy sites. When you walk through the streets, you will find plenty of small shops selling prayer beads, silver, and books. For food, keep an eye out for local spots serving fresh Iraqi bread and slow-cooked meat dishes, which are very comforting after a flight.

The locals are generally very welcoming. Don't be surprised if you are offered a glass of tea while you're shopping or resting—it’s a simple, kind gesture that is very common in the city.
