The Rashaida are a Bedouin tribe populating either side of the Red Sea as well as other parts of the Arabian Peninsula. They claim descent from a famous ancient Arab tribe, the Banu Abs. Most of the Rashaida live in the Arabian Peninsula. Rashaida people migrated in large numbers to Eastern Sudan and Eritrea where they are a tribe of recent Arab origin, keeping their traditional dress, culture, customs and religion (Sunni Islam). They speak Hedjazi Arabic.
