The Shihuh (Arabic: الشحوح, al-Shiḥuḥ) is an Arab tribe living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)[2] and Oman. In the singular, the name is Al Shehhi, a common family name in the UAE and Oman today. Inhabiting the northern part of the Hajar Mountain range, specifically in the Ruus Al Jibal (Musandam Peninsula),[3] the tribe has long been influential in the affairs of both the east and west coast settlements of the northern UAE and Oman and has fiercely maintained both its identity and independence.
