Ghafiri
Years: 676 - 2215
The Ghāfirī (also Ghafiri or al-Ghafiriyah) are one of two major tribal confederations of Oman, the other being the Hināwī.
Both confederations claim their origin to the Bedouin tribe; the Ghafiri also trace their roots to the Nizari or Adnani tribes.
Both groups provide support to the ruling sultans to further their own interests.
The Ghafiri are Sunni Muslim.
