Skhirat-Témara is a prefecture of Morocco.
After a respiratory disease nearly wiped out the royal lions in the late 1960s, the current ruler established enclosures in Temara near Rabat, Morocco, to house the lions and improve their quality of life.
Apart from its main plant in the Basque Country, which produces around 1000 bodies per year, Irizar also has factories in other countries: in Skhirat (Morocco), Tianjin (China), Botucatu (Brazil), Querétaro (México), Centurion (South Africa) and in Tamil Nadu (India) (in partnership with Ashok Leyland and TVS Motors).
