Rahamna

Rahamna ( ), also spelled Rehamna or Rhamna, is an Arab tribe that descends from the Banu Ma'qil tribe. They today are situated in the region north of Marrakesh but first settled north of the Sahara between the 13th and 15th centuries. Their people descend from one famous common ancestor, namely Rahmoun bin Rizq bin Oudi bin Hassan ( ). The Rahamna, according to Professor Abdul Rahim al-Otri, is one of the Arab tribes that came to Morocco from the Arabian Peninsula through Egypt and Libya, then to Mauritania and Morocco, before settling in what is now Rehamna Province. This cross-country migration gave the tribe a mixture of tribal origins and affiliations and created several clans composed of Arab, Berber and African components. They are related to the Yagout tribe (part of the Tekna tribal confederation), who live in the Western Sahara.

They believe that horses represent nobility and chivalry and are a blessing to the household even when drought and high prices halt the celebrations for several years. Both men and women partake in the performance. The Rahamna tribe is famous for their Bedouin musical style called "Aita", which both men and women perform. Women in villages in the region of Rahamna gather together on Fridays at someone's house to work together to make couscous with some preparing the couscous grains and others preparing the vegetables. This is often used as time to catch up and gossip. Beekeeping and the production of honey is also common in the province of Rahamna.
