Ghafiri

The Ghafiri (also Ghafiri or al-Ghafiriyah) are one of two major tribal confederations of Oman and the Trucial States (today the United Arab Emirates), the other being the Hinawi. Both confederations claim their origin to the Bedouin tribe and the Ghafiri also trace their roots to the Nizari or Adnani tribes.

Both groups provided support to the ruling sultans to further their own interests. The Ghafiri are a mixture of Ibadhi and Sunni Muslims.
