Imam Ali's Dropper Shrine, Religious shrine in Karbala Province, Iraq.

The shrine contains a water spring located within a square building topped by a green dome between two large rock formations in western Iraq.

The spring marks the location where Imam Ali and his army discovered water during their journey to the Battle of Siffin in the 7th century.

The water from this spring holds religious significance for visitors who collect it for its perceived healing properties and spiritual blessings.

The shrine sits 28 kilometers from central Karbala, requiring visitors to navigate desert terrain through a paved road to reach the location.

The water continues to flow from the rock despite the spring's position being lower than the nearby salt-rich Lake Razzaza.
