Al Mira

The Al Mira were a Bedouin dynasty of the Hauran in southern Syria, a branch of the Banu Rabi'ah of the Tayy. Their ancestor Mira and his brother Fadl served the Damascus atabegs against the Crusaders.

After the Mamluk conquest, the emir Ahmad ibn Hajji made his tribe kings of the Bedouin of the Hauran and Transjordan, driving out the Al Fadl. Baybars allowed them virtual independence from the amir al-arab, and a decree of 1333 charged their emir with guarding the frontier and Hajj routes.

Around 1389 Anqa ibn Shati joined a revolt against Sultan Barquq and was killed by the Assassins soon after. During Timur's invasion of 1400 to 1401 the tribe seized the Hauran harvest, provoking a Mamluk raid. After the Ottomans conquered Syria in 1516, the rising Sardiyya eclipsed them in the Hauran.
