The Awamir (Arabic: العوامر) (singular Al Amri Arabic: العامري) is a Bedouin Arab tribe in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman, closely associated with the Bani Yas of Abu Dhabi. Warlike and fiercely independent, they were camel breeders, raiders and occasionally date farmers before settling in the 1960s.
