Partly documentedاعريب

Maʿqil Arabs of the Bni Hassan, great cameleers, who once ranged the western Sahara from Timbuktu to the Draa; they settled at the bend of the Draa (Ktaoua, Mhamid) only in the nineteenth century. Their Nouaji section lives under the protection of the Aït Amr (Aït Khebbach), while most of the tribe follows the Aït Isfoul. Spillmann counts 422 tents around 1930.
