Mazari (Emirati tribe)

The Mazari (singular Mazrouei or Mazrui) is an Arab tribe of the United Arab Emirates, also found in the Sultanate of Oman and Kenya. The Mazari settled throughout the Trucial States but principally in Abu Dhabi. They are considered a subsection of the Bani Yas and formed the majority of the Bedouin component of that federation of tribes.

In the nineteenth century, they contributed significant numbers of tribesmen to support Zayed bin Khalifa in conflicts against Wahhabi incursions. While some members left Abu Dhabi during the 1950s, many remained and continued to play an important role in securing the interior of the region, frequently serving as guards for oil exploration companies.
