Al-Shamsi (Arabic: الشامسي) is a very large Arabian tribe (with many sub-tribes) that mostly inhabit the northeastern part of the Arabian peninsula. They are located mainly in Northern Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and to a lesser extent Kuwait, Qatar, eastern Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Due to the large nature of the tribe, there are today in fact many branches that trace themselves to Al-Shamsi tribe.

The most known tribes are: Bin Rahma Bin Hazeem Bin Thawee Al Nayeli Bin Hareb.

Origins

It is presumed that Al-Shamsi tribe was the progeny of who was said to be the brother of khraiban "al-nuaimi", and in turn the father of the Al Nuaimi tribe. Therefore, there are two sections of Al Nuaimi tribe, one is Al Bu Khraiban "Al-Nuaimi" and the second is Al Bu Shamis "Al-Shamsi".

Migration

It is widely thought that the Al-Shamsi tribe emigrated from Western Arabia to settle around the Sunaynah area (an inland desert area in the Southern of United Arab Emirates or more commonly known as Al-Hamriya region during the late 17th century. Later migrations led some of them to Al Ain oasis towns. The Al Shamsi also were the rulers of Hamriyah Port until the early 1960s before it fell under the rule of the Sharjah Emirate.
