'''Awadia''' and '''Fadnia''' are two small [[nomad]] tribes of pure [[Arab]] descent living in the [[Bayuda Desert]], [[Sudan]], between the wells of Jakdul and [[Metemma]]. They are often incorrectly classed as [[Ja'alin]]. They own numbers of horses and cattle, the former of the black [[Dongola]] breed. At the [[battle of Abu Klea]] (17 January 1885) they were conspicuous for their courage in riding against the [[United Kingdom|British]] square.<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Awadia and Fadnia|volume=3|page=67}}</ref>
