The Al-Dahshan tribe is a Hashemite clan, descended from Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad. The tribe immigrated to other Arab lands by one of two ways. The first and most accepted way, was that the tribe moved from Arabia and Iraq, to Morocco, during the Muslim expansion of North Africa. Sub-clans of the tribe settled in countries they passed through on the way to Morocco, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Gaza Strip, Egypt, and Algeria. The second way the clan might have immigrated, is during the mass immigration of Arab clans after the crusades of the Levant. The clan left Arabia (Hejaz specifically), and moved to various parts of the Arab world, Including Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco. Sub-clans also settled in different countries. The Al-Dahshan sub-clan in modern times are found mainly in Jordan, Gaza Strip, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
