Ahbab (Emirati tribe)

Al-Ahbabi is an Arab tribe native to the United Arab Emirates.

The Bedouin tribe frequented the territory of Abu Dhabi. In the early 20th century, approximately 60 families settled permanently in the foothills of Jabal Hafit, where they acknowledged the authority of the Ruler of Abu Dhabi. According to the 1968 census, 319 members of the Al-Ahbabi tribe were recorded.[1]

The Al-Ahbabi tribe of the United Arab Emirates should not be confused with the Saudi tribe known as Al-Hababi.[2]
