MaraziqThe Maraziq (singular Al Marzooki or Al Marzuki) is a tribe of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).[1] Traditionally associated, together with the Tunaij, with the settlement of Rams, north of Ras Al Khaimah, the Maraziq population of the town settled the western area[2] (the Bani Humud neighbourhood, or freej) between Rams and Hulaylah. The late Islamic township of Rams mostly consisted of khaimahs - traditional small, stone-walled houses capped with gabled barasti, or palm-frond, roofs.[2] The Maraziq population of the area had left the area by the early 1950s [2] and are today dispersed around the UAE. The Bani Humud area of Rams was also known as the Marzuki neighbourhood, even after the Maraziq families had left.[3] The Maraziq are believed to originally have migrated from Arabia, and to have taken the name of the district they settled in Rams, originally populated by Iranians from Marzuq.[4] References
