Hoffmann also stated: “Services of the complex are offered in a comprehensive and gate to gate format; visitors and foreign visitors’ needs are all met, therefore”.

Receiving tourists from all around the world following better situation of the pandemic in Iran, trained volunteer tour guides of the Deputy Office for Foreign Pilgrims’ Affairs of Astan Quds Razavi accompany arriving tourists inside the holy shrine and offer them a comprehensive pack of information about the holy shrine, character and conduct of the Eighth Imam (AS) of Shia Muslims.
