The Eritrean Rashaida Ethnic Group Tour

The Rashaida, Rashaayda, or Bani Rashid are a tribe populating Eritrea and northeast Sudan. In 1846, many Rashaida migrated from the Hejaz in present-day Saudi Arabia into what is now Eritrea and northeast Sudan after tribal warfare had broken out in their homeland. The Rashaida of Sudan and Eritrea live in close proximity with the Beja people. Large numbers of Bani Rasheed are also found on the Arabian Peninsula.
