Al Muhannadi

The Al Muhannadi also spelled as Al-Mohannadi (Arabic: المهندي‎) tribe is an Arab tribe of bedouin origins, based primarily in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, especially in Qatar. It is also known as Al Muhanida (Arabic: المهاندة‎).

The tribe was one of the earliest settlers of the village of Al Khor in Qatar. In 1908, J. G. Lorimer, a British historian, wrote that Al Khoor was frequently referred to as 'Khor al-Mahandah [Muhannadi]'. He also wrote that the village consisted of 400 stone and mud houses belonging to the tribe. They also settled the nearby village of Al Thakhira. In 1908, Lorimer noted that the village comprised 100 houses of the Al Muhannadi tribe.
