The Ouled Naïl are a somewhat mysterious tribe of people located in the the Ouled Naïl Range, Algeria. They regularly travel to Djelfa in order to make cattle trades and buy imports. It’s not clear where the Ouled Naïl actually come from, as their origins are specifically oral in nature, with divergent lore on where they come from.
Some members of the tribe claim to descend from Arab tribes who moved into the Algerian countryside a thousand years ago, while some members say they’re from the Banu Hilal of Hejaz. Whatever the case, they have a fascinating tribal lifestyle.
