Tribes of Arabia

The tribes of Arabia (Arabic: قبائل الجزيرة العربية) or Arab tribes (القبائل العربية) denote ethnic Arab tribes originating in the Arabian Peninsula. These tribes trace their ancestry to one of the two Arab forefathers, Adnan or Qahtan.^[1]

Historically, Arab tribes have inhabited the Arabian Peninsula. However, with the spread of Islam, they started migrating and settling in various regions, including the Levant,^[2] Mesopotamia,^[3] Egypt,^[4] Sudan,^[5] the Maghreb,^[6] and Khuzestan.^[7]

These areas collectively form what is known as the "Arab world," excluding Khuzestan. Arab tribes have significantly influenced demographic shifts in this region, leading to the growth of the Arab population.^[8] Additionally, they have played a vital role in the ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and genetic Arabization of the Levant and North Africa.^[9]
