Mahas


The Mahas are a Bedouin sub-group of the Banu Khazraj and the Nubian people located in Sudan along the banks of the Nile. The Mahas are descendants of the Banu Khazraj and have intermarried with the Nubians after migrating to Sudan. Some Mahas villages are intermixed with remaining remnants of the largely extinct Qamhat Bishari tribe. Just as Ababda people are Bejas that are bilingual in Arabic and Beja, and sometimes described as Bedouins the Qamhat Mahas are ethnic Beja speaking a Nubian language. Some Mahas of the Butana area have intermarried with the Rashaida people.

Priceless Mahas cultural antiquities are being lost exponentially with continued damming of the Nile River.
