Ghafiri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ghāfirī (also Ghafiri or al-Ghafiriyah) are one of two major tribal confederations of Oman and the Trucial Coast, the other being the Hināwī.[1][2] Both confederations claim their origin to the Bedouin tribe and the Ghafiri also trace their roots to the Nizari or Adnani tribes.[3] Both groups provided support to the ruling sultans to further their own interests.[4] The Ghafiri are Sunni Muslim.
