The Hawwara or Houara is a Berber[1][2] tribal confederation in the Maghreb, primarily in Tripolitania, with descendants in Upper Egypt and Sudan.[3] Hawwara are amongst the most prominent tribes in Upper Egypt, with branches found mainly in Qena. In Sudan, they are labelled as Hawwaweer (Arabic: هواوير) (plural of Hawwara), and have a significant political presence.[4]
