The Al Mohannadi (Arabic: المهندي, also spelled Al-Muhannadi) tribe is an Arab tribal confederation based primarily in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, especially in Qatar. Being a tribal confederation that emerged in the coastal town of Al-Khor ruling the region before Qatar gained its independence in 1971, the larger portion of its members belong to the Bani Hajer, a Qahtanite tribe.[1] It is also known as Al-Mahanda (Arabic: المهاندة). The leading family of the tribe was the Al-Misnid family. The other families are Al-Bin Ali, Al-Ibrahim, Al-Shugari, Al-Matwi of Al-Shugari, Al-Qashasha, Al-Hassan, Al-Baduh, Al-Bin Matar, and Al-Mehre.
