The Fatimids are a shiite dynasty that claimed 'Alid descent. Their name derives from Fatima, but it is unclear whether the Fatimid caliphs ever referred to themselves as Fatimids. Their rule lasted from 297 AH to 567 AH, mainly in North Africa, Egypt where they established their capital Al-Kahira Al-Mo'ezzeya, Palestine and Syria until extinguished by Saladin in 567 AH.
