Rashayda. Harun al-Rashid, and that they are known in the Hijaz as Bani Rashid, and that the Rashayda in the Arabian Peninsula currently reside in the region located between Najd to the east of Medina to the west, and that they were the ones who supported Abdulaziz Al Saud when Al Rashid controlled Riyadh, and their city was "Hail." More than that, the known branches of the tribe in the Arabian Peninsula are from the same branches found in Sudan, and the branding of the Rashayda camels in Sudan matches the branding of their camels. From here, the Bani Rashid, who belong to Harun al-Rashid and his descendants, have mixed with some of the Arab tribes of the Hijaz who inhabit the land of the Hijaz, and their origin is Qahtani, and it is possible that some Arab tribes of unknown origin have joined them. As for the reasons for their migration to Sudan, some narrate that years of hardship and drought forced them to migrate to Sudan, and that they met with ship owners in the Red Sea, who used to arrive in Jeddah from the ports of Suakin, Port Sudan, Massawa, and Qirza, and that they facilitated their migration to Sudan, where there were rainy regions. So some of the Rashayda migrated to Qirza, and others migrated to Massawa and southern Egypt, and they gathered in a place called Farsfan. In this place, they cooperated among themselves to cross and reach Sudan after using boats to cross the Red Sea. Then they entered the Halayeb region, and from there they headed to Massawa, and some headed to Qirshot and Sohag in Egypt. It is possible that the conditions of severe drought that lasted for seven years and the dispute with Sharif Aun Pasha, the ruler of Mecca Al-Mukarramah, and other reasons were among the motives for moving to Sudan and migrating across the Red Sea. 252
