Hadhrami people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hadhrami (Arabic: )or Hadharem (Arabic: )are people from the Hadhramaut region of Yemen and their descendants in diaspora communities around the world. They speak Hadhrami Arabic. The Hadharem have a long sea-faring and trading tradition which has seen them migrate in large numbers all around the Indian Ocean basin, from the Horn of Africa and the Swahili Coast in East Africa to the Malabar Coast and Hyderabad, India in South India, and to Maritime Southeast Asia.[1] There are Hadharem communities in the trading ports of the Arab Gulf states and the Red Sea. The money changers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia have usually been of [2] Hadrami origin. Hadhrami communities can also be found in Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, [3] Mozambique and Madagascar.
