Basra, nicknamed Basra al-Hamra, was a settlement and historic town in northwestern Morocco. It was founded in 833 by the Idrisid dynasty, under the reign of the Emir Muhammad ibn Idris II. It was originally the summer capital of the Idrisid dynasty from the 8th to 10th centuries after they were driven out of Fes by the Fatimids. It is currently located in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region. It is situated on the road from Souk El Arbaa to Ouezzane, about 40 km from the Atlantic coast and 20 km south of Ksar el-Kebir.
