The Zoubi (Arabic: الزعبي, romanized: al-Zuʾbī), also called Al al-Zu'bi and al-Zu'biyya, is a large Arab clan or tribe with a significant presence in southern Syria, northern Jordan and northern Israel. The family traditionally provided the leaders of the Sufi order of Qadiriyya in the Hauran, from which they derived their political presige in that region, even after the decline of Sufism in the early 20th century. Members of the family have frequently served in political office in Syria (including Mahmoud Al-Zoubi, Prime Minister between 1987 and 2000), Jordan and Israel until the present day.
