From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lihyanites (Arabic,اللحيانيين )were a tribe of northern pre-Islamic Arabia, known from Old North Arabian inscriptions dating to ca. the 6th to 4th centuries BC. Dedanite is used for the older phase of the history of the Al-'Ula oasis (Biblical Dedan), in northwestern Arabia, some 110 km southwest of Teima, the difference between Dedanite and Lihyanite being set by convention.
