Additional tribes that migrated to Egypt from the Hijaz and Najd region (Saudi Arabia) include the Qais Ailan, Hilal, Salim, Ja'far, Quraish, and the Rabi'a tribes. For more information about these tribes, their subgroups, and locations, see the [https://archive.org/details/20240619_20240619_2038/page/n13/mode/2up?view=theater History of Egyptian Tribes]. Muhammad Ali Pasha (1805-1848) attempted to make peace with the tribesmen during his reign and was able to enact a peace treaty with them, bringing forth an era of relative prosperity for tribal families such as the Al-Maloum, Al-Basel, Al-Shari'i, Al-Tahawi, and Al-Shawarbi.

It is important to note that affiliation with a particular tribe does not necessarily entail direct kinship to that tribe. In some cases, new tribes formed as the result of alliances between pre-existing tribal groups. Individual families may have occasionally become clients of a different tribe and eventually adopted as members. On an even smaller scale, individuals were sometimes adopted into a tribe. This was particularly true during the first centuries of Islam, when non-Arab converts to Islam were required to become clients, or "mawali" (Arabic مَوالٍ), of an Arab tribe.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Spread of Islam," ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_of_Islam, accessed 8 October 2024.</ref> Therefore, association with a tribe does not automatically imply descent or kinship relationship within a given lineage. | It is important to note that affiliation with a particular tribe does not necessarily entail direct kinship to that tribe.
