Tribe

Arab

العرب
Arabian Peninsula, with migrations into Levant, Mesopotamia, Persia, North Africa · Polytheism (pre-Islamic); Islam (post-conversion)

The Arabs are a collection of tribes originating from the Arabian Peninsula, traditionally tracing their ancestry to either Adnan or Qahtan. They played a central role in the spread of Islam and the Arab conquests from the 7th century onwards, which led to widespread Arabization across West Asia and North Africa. Notable tribal confederations include the Quraysh and Hawazin, both Adnanite Arabs. Their migrations significantly shaped the demographic, cultural, and linguistic landscape of the broader Middle East and North Africa.
