Salih ibn Mansur
Salih ibn Mansur was an Arab of Himyarite descent who founded the Emirate of Nekor on the Rif coast of northern Morocco. Around 710 the Umayyad Caliphate granted him the region, where he preached Islam among the Berber tribes. His descendants, the Salihids, ruled the emirate for about three centuries, and his grandson Said ibn Idris built its capital at Nekor.
