 At the turn of the 20th century, the tribe comprised both nomadic ("bedouin") and sedentary sections.The original grazing lands of the tribe's bedouins had been the region of Ranyah and Kurmah, on the border between Nejd and 'Asir.The tribe ended up roaming the areas of central Nejd around Riyadh, along with the closely related tribe of the Suhool.
