Harasis is the Hinawi Bedouin tribe of Oman. They arrived in the Jiddat al-Harasis desert of Dhofar Governorate in the late 19th century.[1] Harasis people (about 1000-2000 people) in the Jiddat al-Harasis are reported to be of different identity compared to the Bedu nomads. They speak the Ḥarsusi language; though they are reported to be increasing their use of the Mehri language, which is more dominant in the area, and are bilingual in Arabic.[2]
