Ghafiri
The Ghāfirī (also Ghafiri or al-Ghafiriyah) are one of two major tribal confederations of Oman, the other being the Hināwī. Both confederations claim their origin to the Bedouin tribe and the Ghafiri also trace their roots to the Nizari or Adnani tribes. Both groups provided support to the ruling sultans to further their own interests. The Ghafiri are Sunni Muslim.
