al-Majidi ibn Zahir

Al-Majidi ibn Zahir is regarded as the most famous Nabati poet of the territory of the present-day Emirates, and his life is known only through tradition. Sources differ on his period: an article in the daily The National places him in the first quarter of the seventeenth century, while the antiquities department of Ras al Khaimah dates his birth to the end of the same century, in the time of the Ya'rubi state. He lived in the present-day emirate of Ras al Khaimah and improvised his poems, which he opened by naming himself.
