Bani Shehr is a clan from the southern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It belongs to the ancient tribe Al-Azd that has many clans linked to it. As far as ancestry goes, Bani Shehr, Bani Amr, Bal-Ahmar, Bal-Asmar, Bal-Qarn, Shumran, Shahran and Bani Malik all belong to "Al-Azd". All these tribes moved after the Ma'rib dam was destroyed circa 4000 BC.
