Officially, the House of Thani rules Qatar as a constitutional monarchy,[5][6] but the wide powers retained by the emir and his family have led to it being described as an absolute monarchy[7][8] and autocracy.[9][10]

History and structure

The Al Thani family can be traced back to Mudar ibn Nizar, a claimed descendant of the Biblical figure Ishmael.[11] The tribe moved from the Najdi town of Ushaiger, a settlement north-west of Riyadh, and settled at the Gebrin oasis in southern Najd (present-day Saudi Arabia) before they moved to Qatar.[12] They settled in Qatar around the 1720s. Their first settlement in Qatar was in the southern town of Sikak, and from there they moved north-west to Zubarah, Al Ruwais and then to Fuwayrit.[13] They settled in Doha in the 19th century under their leader Mohammed bin Thani.[12] The group was named after his father Thani bin Mohammed.[12]

The family is made up of three main branches: the Bani Ali, Bani Hamad, and Bani Khalid.[1][2] As of the early 1990s, the family numbered an estimated 20,000 members.[2]

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. The area has acquired the nickname "Little Doha".[14]
