Yinainir (Arabic: ينينير, romanized: Yinēnīr)[1][2][3] is a small village, located in the northeast of United Arab Emirates (UAE), in the Hajar Mountains, Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, inaccessible by road.
An extensive area with numerous terraces has been preserved from the old village to this day, supported by dry stone walls, without mortar, which allow water and earth to be retained, intended for pastures and other agricultural uses; corrals; ruins of houses, huts and stone cabins; and even an old cemetery.
The village has no electricity, nor road access, but in 2023 the donkey path that follows the course of the Wadi Arus from its mouth in the es:Wadi Shah was renovated, making it much easier for its inhabitants to transport supplies and access.
Geography
[edit]Yinainir is located to the west and almost at the foot of the great cliff that geographically delimits, in that area, the border between United Arab Emirates and Oman, crowned by the peaks of the Jabal Sal (1,575 m (5,167 ft))[4] and of the Jabal Yabānah (1,480 m (4,860 ft)).[1][5][6]
To the east of the settlement is the headwaters and the main alluvial fan of the Wadi Arus,[7] a major tributary of the Wadi Shah, and approximately 2 km northwest of the small village of Musaibat.[8]
Population
[edit]In general, the area of Yinainir was historically populated by the Bani Shatair (Arabic: بني شطير) tribe, one of two sections chiefs of the semi-nomadic tribe Shihuh, which occupied, among other territories, the tribal area of Bani Bakhit.[9][10]
On the other hand, Edward F. Henderson, in his report "Tribes of Trucial States coast",[10] expressly points out Yinainir as an important reference village for another major Shihuh section: the Bani Hadiyah (Arabic: بني هدية), Bani Idaid tribal area.[11]
Toponymy
[edit]Alternative Names: Yinainir, Yinēnīr, ينينير
The name of this village was recorded in the documentation and maps produced between 1950 and 1960 by the British Arabist, cartographer, military officer and diplomat Julian F. Walker,[12] during the work carried out for the establishment of borders between the then called Trucial States,[13][14] later completed by the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom, on 1:100,000 scale maps published in 1971.[15]
It also appears, with the spelling Yinēnīr, in the National Atlas of the United Arab Emirates.[1]
