ʻO ka Sloughi i hoʻomaka mua ʻia mai ka poʻe greyhound o nā Bedouins ʻApelika ʻĀkau. No laila, hoʻi kona mōʻaukala i kekahi mau millennia.
I kēlā manawa he hoa ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ia no ka poʻe noho wao nahele a kōkua ʻo ia, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, me ka hahai holoholona, a ma laila ʻo ia i hoʻokumu ai i kahi hui ʻekolu me ka falcon a me ka mea hahai holoholona, e holo ana ma luna o ka lio. No ka pololei, ua puka mai ka pua ma ka ʻāina ʻo Maghreb, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Morocco, Algeria, a me Tunisia.
Ma muli o ka hiki i ka Sloughi ke hahai holoholona ma muli o kona wikiwiki a hāʻawi i ka ʻiʻo no ka Bedouins, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia he "maʻemaʻe" ma ka moʻomeheu Arab e like me nā ʻīlio ʻē aʻe. ʻOiai i kēia mau lā, mahalo nui ʻia ka ʻohana greyhound ma nā ʻāina e like me Marroko, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i hana ʻia ka hahai holoholona maʻamau.
