The Oulad Tidrarin (Arabic: أولاد تيدرارين) is a Sahrawi tribe of Arab origin. They speak Hassaniya Arabic. They are Muslims, belonging to the Maliki school of Sunni Islam. They live mainly in Western Sahara but also in Morocco and Mauritania.^[1]

Origins

[edit]

The Oulad Tidrarin is an Arab tribe that settled the Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro areas of Northwest Africa, their original home. Many live in the Cape Bojador and the coastline of the south of Morocco, some on the coast of Saguia el-Hamra and some branches live in the south and east of Mauritania. There are some members of the Uladsliman and Lidadsa in subgroups in Mali.

The name Tidrarin is Berber and means 'small mountains'. It is the diminutive form of idrarin ("mountains").

Religious activism

[edit]

The tribe has established centres for the spread of Islamic culture, particularly along the Atlantic coast region. They have received recognition from the Moroccan sultans for their work in this area.
