Basra was founded in 636 AD during the early Islamic conquests. It was established by the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab as a military garrison and quickly grew into an important cultural and economic center. Located near the Shatt al-Arab river, it played a significant role in trade and the spread of Islam in the region.
