Harasis is the
Hinawi
Bedouin tribe of
Oman. They arrived in the
Jiddat al-Harasis desert of
Dhofar Governorate in the late 19th century.
[1] Harasis people (about 1000-2000 people) in the Jiddat al-Harasis are reported to be of different identity compared to the
Bedu nomads. They speak the
Ḥarsusi language; though they are reported to be increasing their use of the
Mehri language, which is more dominant in the area, and are bilingual in
Arabic.
