| - The Galadari (Arabic: الكلداريه or ال كلداري Kaladari, House of Galadari) family is one of the prominent Huwala Arab families of Dubai, including Suhail Galadari, owner of Khaleej Times and son of Abdul Latif Galadari. Originally as merchants in the Arabian peninsula and the Trucial States, the family became a vassal house of Al Qawasem dynasty through royal intermarriage and migrated to the area of Fars Province Lengeh in Persia, which then remigrated to the Arabian peninsula in the 1800s in concordance with the Qawasem. The family settled in a village which was later called (Persian: كله دار Kalh Dar) pertaining to the family name. The etymology of the name was originally given to them to by the Persians to denote their socioeconomic profession of shepherding. The Galadari's established trade ports between Dubai, Kuwait, India, and Iran. After the fall of Al Qawasem dynasty rule in Lengeh and the increased hostility from the Persians towards Iranian Arabs, they resettled in their home town Dubai for good. Although a small house, the Galadari family played a significant role in the development of Dubai and were prominent advisers to Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum in the economical boom of Dubai. Through their trading ports, the Galadari family accumulated vast wealth and established Dubai as the major trading port in the region. The family is considered not pure Arab, but as Persian Arab by more conventional Arab families because of the unkept Arab bloodline through the intermarriage of the family with the Persians throughout the generations and because of the self-styled surname name which is of Persian origin.
