Rashaida people
The Rashaida, Rashaayda or Bani Rashid is a tribe of ethnic Bedouin Arabs descending from Banu Abs native to the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. They currently inhabit Saudi Arabia, Eritrea, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Sudan and Libya. In 1846, many Rashaida migrated from the Hejaz region in present-day Saudi Arabia into what is now Sudan, Kuwait, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al-Quwain and United Arab Emirates after tribal warfare had broken out in their homeland. Large numbers of Bani Rasheed are also found on the Arabian Peninsula.
The Bani Rasheed are descendants of the Banu Abs tribe.
The Rashaida keep their traditional dress, culture, customs, camel breeds and practice of Sunni Islam. The racing camel breeds of the Rashaida tribe are prized all over Sudan and the Arabian Peninsula and fetch very high prices.
Depending on which country they are in they tend to practise that culture.
