- Abstract
Kerbala' could be considered as one of the most important cities of Iraq in general and of the Middle Euphrates in particular in view of its religious significance for large part of the Muslim community. Its spiritual importance is attributed to the fact that it embraced the Holy Shrines of Imam Hussein (p.b.u.h.) and his brother Al-'Abbas (p.b.u.h.). This spirituality let much more gatherings of peoples periodically come to perform the religious sermons at the Holy Sanctuaries. So, this huge social presence resulted in the revival of the commercial economy of the City. In regard with this town's particular strategic position as it is on a rich river, Euphrates, and it has a climate convenient for the cultivation of the palm trees, this led to a certain agricultural style played a complementary role in the trade and the fairs of Kerbala'.
