Yafa'a District It is an Arab tribe, geographical area, and district inhabited by the Yafa'i tribe in southern Yemen.[2] It is one of the biggest tribes that descended from the ancient Himyarites. Today, most members of the tribe can be found across the Arabian Peninsula, in particular Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, The United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, wherein it is estimated that the Yafa' tribe makes up the second-largest Arabian tribe among the Qatari society, with the Al Murrah tribe coming first. According to Arab historian Abu Muhammad al-Hasan al-Hamdani, the genealogy of Yafa' is of the following: "Yafa' bin Qawel bin Zaid bin Naaitah bin Sharhabel bin Al Harth bin Yareem dhi Raain bin Zaid bin Sahal bin Amer bin Qais bin Muawiyah bin Joshom bin Abd Shams bin Wael bin Al Ghawth bin Al Humaysaa bin Himyar bin Saba."[3] Yafa' has gone through a complex structuration of different tribal forms in the last several centuries. The division comprises Yafi' bani Qasid (Lower Yafa or Yafa' as-Sufla) and Yafi' bani Malik (Upper Yafa or Yafa' al-Ulya), each including five branches and sheikhdoms. Branches of Yafa' alamry
