The Battle of Haydaran was fought in April 1052 in Ifriqiya between the army of the Zirid emir al-Mu'izz ibn Badis and the Arab Banu Hilal tribes, sent west after the Zirids broke with the Fatimids. Despite their greater numbers the Zirids were routed. The defeat left the countryside open to the Bedouin, Kairouan was abandoned in 1057, and the Zirids withdrew to Mahdia.
