Albeyari


Al-Beyari is an Arab family originally from the village of al-ʿAbbasiyya, located in the Jaffa Governorate of Palestine. The family was historically known for its ownership of large farmlands and citrus orchards, which were among the defining features of the region before 1948. After the Nakba, many members of the family were displaced to nearby countries. Some settled in Jordan, particularly in Amman and Zarqa, while others migrated to the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia, particularly in Mecca. According to several accounts, the family's early origins go back to the Arabian Peninsula before their migration to Palestine centuries ago, showing the historical connection between the Levant and the Arab heartlands.

Branches and Distribution

The Bayari family is spread across several Arab countries. In Palestine, some descendants still possess legal documents confirming their ancestral ownership of agricultural lands. In Jordan, members of the family became active in fields such as trade, education, and small-scale industry. In Syria, the family's presence is mainly in Damascus and nearby cities, where they have long been engaged in commerce and traditional crafts.
In the Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, the family is concentrated in Mecca, where a district known as “Hayy al-Bayari” bears their name.
