The Hadrami or Hadhrami Sheikdom (Arabic: مشيخة الحضرمي), Maktab Al Hadharem (Arabic: مكتب الحضارم), or Al Hadharem (Arabic: الحضارم), is one of the five sheikdoms of Upper Yafa.[1] The Hadrami sheikdom was divided into four quarters: Sinaani (سناني), Bal Hay (بلحأي), Thuluthi (ثلثي), and Marfadi (مرفدي). The capital of the sheikdom is the village of Al-Shibr (Arabic: قرية الشبر), which is located in the Sinaani quarter.
