| dbo:abstract | The Al Bu Muhair (singular Al Muhairi or Al Mheiri) are a tribe of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), closely associated with the Bani Yas of Abu Dhabi but settled throughout the western coastal areas of the Emirates. At the turn of the 20th century, the Al Bu Muhair were mostly settled, with a minority of some 20 households in Abu Dhabi still following a Bedouin lifestyle. At the time, some 500 Muhair were settled in Abu Dhabi, with another 500 members of the tribe living in Batin. The Batin settlement and its associated creek, Khor Al Batin, were south of Al Magta and consisted of some 130 areesh houses made of barasti, or date branches. Of these, 30 houses, some 150 people, were members of the Sudan tribe and another 100 Muhair. Elsewhere on the coast, the Al Bu Muhair were found in Dubai (400 houses); Al Khan (60 houses); Sharjah (60 houses); Ajman (80 houses); Umm Al Quwain (30 houses) and 120 houses in Ras Al Khaimah. Walker, in 1901, disagrees with Lorimer's 1906 estimate and puts the number of Al Bu Muhair in Ras Al Khaimah as 200 houses, divided equally between areesh and stone/gypsum construction. The Al Bu Muhair first settled in Ras Al Khaimah from Abu Dhabi with the establishment of Al Qawasim rule in the 1750s. Lorimer records the Al Bu Muhair as being of Mahra origin (Southern Yemen) and notes they integrated into each of the communities in which they settled. (en) |
