The Nabhani dynasty (or Nabhanids; Arabic: أسرة بني نبهان ʾusrat banī nabhān), members of the Bani Nabhan family, also referred to as the Sultans of Sohar,[2] were rulers of Oman from 1154 until 1624, when the Yaruba dynasty took power.[a] One of their most visible legacies is the Bahla Fort, a large complex of mud brick buildings on stone foundations built from the 12th to the 15th century. It was registered in 1987 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Nabhanids dynasty may be a possible ancestor of the Nabhan family, a family of Syrian and Lebanese descent that has influential members in the United States. Some immigrated and settled in New York City in the mid-20th century. Other members of the family have influence in Brazil, especially in rural areas, such as Luiz Antonio Nabhan Garcia, Minister of Land Affairs in the Bolsonaro government and former president of the Union for Rural Democracy (UDR).
