👉 House of Al Falasi in the context of Na'im

The Na'im (Arabic: النعيم) (singular Al Nuaimi Arabic: النعيمي) is a traditionally Ghafiri Arab tribe in the United Arab Emirates. The tribe is also present in other gulf countries.

The Na'im are divided into three sections, the Al Bu Kharaiban, the Khawatir and the Al Bu Shamis (singular Al Shamsi). It is from the former section that the current Rulers of the Emirate of Ajman are drawn. The Al Bu Shamis have become virtually independent and are closely associated with the Al Bu Falasa of Dubai.
