Mosques

Basra, Iraq's southern port city, is home to a significant Muslim community. While the city center itself has limited listed prayer places in our current database, the nearby district of Az Zubayr, approximately 13–16 km away, hosts a dense concentration of mosques. This area serves as a key hub for worshippers, with 20 mapped prayer places within a 50 km radius of Basra's center. The majority of these are located in Az Zubayr, a historic town with deep Islamic roots, offering residents and visitors ample options for daily prayers.

Among the listed mosques in Az Zubayr are notable names such as Imam Ali Khitwa Mosque, Zubayr Central Mosque, and Mosque of the Great Prophet. Other prayer places include Barrak Mosque, Shuwaili new mosque, Derwaza mosque, and several others like Khalid ibn al-Walid Mosque, Al-nejada Mosque, and جامع زينب الكبرى. The addresses indicate a strong prayer-place presence across Az Zubayr, with mosques situated on various streets and unnamed roads, reflecting the area's role as a center for Islamic worship in the Basra Governorate.

For Muslims living in or visiting Basra, the mapped data shows that the most accessible prayer places are concentrated in Az Zubayr, rather than within Basra city itself. This pattern suggests that worshippers may need to travel to Az Zubayr for a wider selection of mosques. The listings are based on available mapped records, and while not exhaustive, they provide a useful starting point for locating prayer facilities in the region. Whether you are a resident, a new arrival, or a traveler, these mosques offer spaces for congregational prayers and community connection.

All listed mosques are in Az Zubayr, Basra Governorate. Check addresses and distances from your location before visiting.
