The Al Manasir (Arabic: المناصير, singular Mansuri) is a tribe of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).[1] Nomadic, warlike and fiercely independent, they roamed between Buraimi and Qatar, the Persian Gulf coast to Liwa and also settled in the Northern emirates. They subsisted through date farming, pearling and moving goods with their camel trains, as well as camel breeding.
