who ruled Andalusia and Valencia.
Moharam first entered Egypt with the Arab conquest of Egypt in December 639 with Amr Bin-Al Aas, settled in Kafr Ali Kaly Al Sharkia, and owned lands. Saladin granted them more lands, which they still hold today.
Moharram in Egypt comprises five houses: Soweid, Baagah, Nathel, Refaa, and Bardaa
Although the family settled in Al-sharkia in Egypt, they eventually spread over Egypt and over the middle east, especially in Jordan and Syria.
The major cause of their spread into Egypt was their refusal to pay taxes in the era of Muhammad Ali of Egypt, who ordered the destruction of their houses. Once they heard that the army was marching towards their homes, they abandoned them and took refuge in the neighboring cities.
After the campaign, some of the family houses returned to Al-sharkia while others made their homes in other places in Egypt.
