House of Thani
The House of Thani (Arabic: آل ثاني, romanised: Āl Thānī) is the ruling family of Qatar, with origins tracing back to the AdnaniteBanu Tamim tribe. Currently, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani leads the house.
Officially, the House of Thani rules Qatar as a constitutional monarchy, but the wide powers retained by the emir and his family have led to it being described as an absolute monarchy and autocracy.
