his opinion that the whole of the Liwa tract
definitely owes allegiance to the Shaikh of

outside Arabia who has visited this area.

of Sabhkat Matti. The Manasir and Beni Yas
who occupy the area from Batin and Liwa to
the coast are more or lass stationary; as
their camels feed on the salt bush of the
area, and have to bevatered frequently.
They owe allegiance to the Bu Pal ah, shaikhs
