Tamra, like the rest of Palestine, was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, and in the census of 1596 the village was located in the Nahiya of Acca of the Liwa of Safad. The population was 22 Muslim households. They paid taxes on wheat, barley, fruit trees, cotton, occasional revenues, beehives and winter pastures. In 1799 it was named Tomrat on the map of Pierre Jacotin.

In 1859 the British Consul Rogers estimated the population to be 1,200, all Muslims, and the cultivated area 80 feddans, while Victor Guérin found it in 1875 to have 800 inhabitants, all Muslim.
