Origin
Al-Ajman is a Qahtanite Arab tribe that is descended from Banu Yam tribe. Most of Ajman left their nomadic life and lived in northeastern of Saudi Arabia.[1]
History
The Ajman were noted[Al Saud against their cousin Abdulaziz bin Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia.
A section of the Ajman led by
Utaybah and Mutayr were defeated by Ibn Saud in 1929 in the Battle of Sabilla, which put an end to the Ikhwan rebellion.[5]
Nearly all the Ajman have abandoned nomadic life and have settled in the
Persian Gulf states, particularly[citation needed] the eponymous Emirate of Ajman, a member of the United Arab Emirates. There are also many in Saudi Arabia. Their main tribal territory is Joudah, also known as Wadi el-Ajman ("the valley of the Ajman"), located on the road between Riyadh and Dammam
