The '''Kababish''' ({{Lang-ar|كبابيش}}) are a nomadic tribe of the northern [[Kordofan]] region of [[Sudan]].<ref name=dictionary>{{cite web|title=Kababish|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kababish|publisher=merriam-webster|accessdate=16 October 2012}}</ref> The Kababish comprise about 19 different groups, which are all led by a single ''nazir'' or chief. Their main occupation is as [[camel]] herders, which gives them a high standing in Arabic society as camels are highly prized and valued.
 
The main religion of the Kababish is Islam, adhering to the [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] denomination. They trace descentdescend from Arab forefathers that hail from the Arabian Yemenite tribe of [[Juhaynah]], and speak a form of [[Sudanese Arabic]].<ref name=macs>{{cite web|title=Kababish|url=http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ai38/Sudan/kababish.htm|publisher=www.macs.hw.ac.uk|accessdate=16 October 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617000112/http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ai38/Sudan/kababish.htm|archivedate=17 June 2011}}</ref> Women classically dress in a long blue cloth wrapped a few times around their body, while the men wear long white tunics, loose white pants and white turbans. Most men will carry a dagger or sword and perhaps a rifle or shotgun, due to the harshness of desert life and the threat of banditry due to their valuable stock.{{cn|date=March 2024}}
