The tribe gave its name to the famous Wadi in Najd, Wadi Al-Dawasir, and spread in various parts of the Middle East.
The tribe also either gave birth or helped the growth of cities like: Al-Dammam, Al-Khobar, Al-Ahsa, Al-Zubara, Zallaq and Budayie (island of Bahrain) and Kuwait.
They were also inhabitants of the juzur Hawar; this helped Bahrain to win on 16 March 2001 its dispute over the archipelago with Qatar at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
