The population of Abushneib roughly ranges to 3,000, representing three or four major tribes; al-Rufa'yin, al-Dubasiyin, al-kawahlah, and al-Ja'afrah, though the last is related to the late Jaafar, their grandfather, rather than to a tribal name. Though each tribe occupies a certain area in the village, still they are living a harmonious social life, sharing the same joyous moments and burdens of life. Actually, these tribes are already mixed with each other now with marriage occurrences taking place now and then between couples from the different tribes.
