Banu 'Akk (Arabic: بنو عك pronounced [ˈbanuː ʕak], Ancient South Arabian:𐩲𐩫𐩣 lit.
ʿkm, ʿAkkum; Greek:’Αχχιται) or simply 'Akk, was one of the main pre-Islamic Arab tribes.
Banu 'Akk tribesmen would travel from Yemen to Mecca to perform the pilgrimage to the deity Wadd.
According to Kitab al-Asnam (The Book of Idols) of Ibn al-Kalbi, The Banu 'Akk had a unique chant and rituals to Wadd.
Under the Rashidun Caliphate, Amr ibn al-'As entered Egypt with an army that included approximately 3,000 to 4,000 men from the tribe of Banu 'Akk.
