Source-derived summary

Ait Boufrah is a small town and rural commune in Al Hoceïma Province of the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region of Morocco. At the time of the 2014 census, the commune had a total population of 9,633. From 1912 to 1956 it belonged to the northern area of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco.

Known for its beaches, Cala Iris and Torres de Alcalá, where a great focus of tourism is located to witness the unique architectural jewel, of great heritage and historical value.

Beni Boufrah remains a living example of the cultural and natural wealth of the Rif, a region of great historical and geographical importance in Morocco.

This region, like many others in the Rif, has played an important historical role in social and cultural movements, reflecting the resistance and identity of its inhabitants.

Beni Boufrah is a place where the Berber tradition is kept alive and is a point of interest for those who want to explore rural and authentic Morocco.

The current leader is Tarik Chaara.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “rural commune in Morocco” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4930995. Authority coordinates are 35.100, -4.310. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014, 1912 and 1956.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
