The epic novel "Al-Hilaliyah"
I would not go for translating titles unless they were not just proper nouns. Al-Hilaliya, if I am not mistaken, is an old Arab epic about a certain Abu Zaid bin Rizq Al-Hilali, head of the Bani Hilal tribe and the migration of Arabs from the peninsula to North Africa (among which is Tunisia).

Saga of Beni Hilal
Saga is a more accurate term. It's also used, for example:
"a saga that involves the wars and conquests of the tribe of Beni Hilal in the fifth century of the Hijra..."
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/764/cu5.htm
"Their "saga" is still recounted in form of poetry in Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt..."
