Al-Juaibar Tribe
Al-Juaibar is a Muntifiq Arab tribe in Iraq, which primarily settled in southern Iraq in Nasiriyah,Dhi Qar Region, along the Euphrates. The tribe was one of the largest among the Marsh Arabs and was mentioned in the book "The Marsh Arabs" by Wilfred Thesiger. "The Marsh Arabs" details the Arab tribes living in the marshlands of southern Iraq at the intersection of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Wilfred Thesiger spent time with both the Al-Hasan and Al-Juaibar tribes during his expeditions to southern Iraq during the 1950s.

During and prior to the 1991 Gulf War, much of the Al-Juaibar tribe, similar to the surrounding Marsh Arabs, faced persecution and were arrested, "disappeared," or executed. Most have become refugees abroad or are internally displaced in Iraq as a result of the former Iraqi governments oppression. Despite this, a large majority of the population and culture of the Marsh Arabs, who have resided continuously in the marshlands for more than 5,000 years, still remain in their ancestral homeland.

Religion
The Al-Juaibar tribe primarily practices Shia Islam.
