Member State of the Arab League The House of Thani (Arabic: آل ثاني, romanized: Āl Thānī) is the ruling family of Qatar, with origins tracing back to the Adnanite Banu Tamim tribe.

[2] Today Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and his mother Moza bint Nassir lead the house.

The Al Thani family[3] can be traced back to Mudar bin Nizar, a descendant of Ismail.

Their first settlement in Qatar was in the southern town of Sikak, and from there they moved north-west to Zubarah and Al Ruwais.

[7] The family and their relatives and associates own significant properties in the Mayfair district of London, with an estimated quarter of Mayfair's 279 acres including two of the area's best known luxury hotels, The Connaught and Claridge's.
