Walking
If you are in the center of Karbala, start at Al Abbas Square (ساحة العباس). Head southeast on Imam Al-Hussain Street (شارع الإمام الحسين) towards the intersection with Al-Hussain Street (شارع الحسين). Continue straight until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Unnamed Road (الطريق غير مسمى). Walk along this road for about 1 km, and you will see حديقة المدراء on your left side. It's a green space and should be quite visible.
Walking
Alternatively, if you are near the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine, exit the shrine complex and walk northwest on Imam Al-Hussain Street. Continue until you reach the major intersection with Al-Hussain Street and turn left. After about 500 meters, turn right at the roundabout onto Unnamed Road, and حديقة المدراء will be a short walk ahead on your left.
Public Transport (Bus or Microbus)
You can take a local bus or microbus from the vicinity of the Imam Hussain Shrine. Look for buses heading towards Al Hussain neighborhood. Make sure to ask the driver to drop you off near the Unnamed Road. From the drop-off point, it will be a short walk to حديقة المدراء, which is located a few blocks away.
