Al Muhannadi

The Al Muhannadi also spelled as Al-Mohannadi (Arabic: المهندي‎‎) tribe is an Arab tribe of bedouin origins, based primarily in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, especially in Qatar. It is also known as Al Muhanida (Arabic: المهاندة‎‎).

The tribe was one of the earliest settlers of the village of Al Khor in Qatar. In 1908, J. G. Lorimer, a British historian, wrote that Al Khoor was frequently referred to as 'Khor al-Mahandah [Muhannadi]'. He also wrote that the village consisted of 400 stone and mud houses belonging to the tribe.^[1] They also settled the nearby village of Al Thakhira. In 1908, Lorimer noted that the village comprised 100 houses of the Al Muhannadi tribe.^[2]
