Oulad Zyan

Oulad Zyan or Awlad Ziyan (al-Hilalia) (Arabic: أولاد زيان) is a tribe in Morocco belonging to the Chaouia tribal confederation.

[1] The special feature of this tribe is that its lands are separated into two parts by a distance of 30 km.

: Oulad Zyan Moualine el Oued, which is southeast of Casablanca, and Oulad Zyan Soualem, which is south-west of the same city.

Its territory stretches for 12 km along the Atlantic coast and separates Mediouna (Chaouia) and Chiadma (Doukkala).

[1] The origin of Oulad Zyan is Arab, being the descendants of Oulad Khalifa as accepted by Ibn Khaldun.
