Mehri people are one of the largest tribes in Yemen. They are also referred to as Meheri, Mahri or Mahra which is Arabic. I will refer to them as the Mehri. The Mehri are known as the Arab Salah. They are known as by scholars to be the original Arabs.
This culture is derived from nomads that lived in the Arabian Desert. Their main area of living is Yemen, but they also reside in other countries in the Arabian Peninsula.
Some of the countries this tribe could be found are United Arab Emerites, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. They have lived in these areas for thousands of years and stick with their own traditions. They speak their own language which is called the Mehri language. This language is similar to the language that was spoken in the 7th century CE before the spread of Arabic. There are a little over 136,000 Mehri people in the world today. It is estimated that 50,000 of them reside in Yemen.
