The Eastern region, via the Red Sea route, and many of them migrated to Western Sudan, to Kordofan, Darfur, and the Nuba Mountains. Therefore, these "Rukkabiyya" might have allied with the "Jamaliyyin" through marriage, but they do not belong to the "Talibiyyin" branch, who are attributed to the Ashraf (nobles) who trace their lineage to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Their main center was in Wadi al-Kunuz and Wadi al-Nuba, up to the borders of Dongola. We know that their neighbors, the Kunuz, are remnants of Bani Kinana bin Rabi'a, who were a strong support for the Fatimid state.

The activity of these Arab tribes was in Upper Egypt, and those tribes
