Arab Indonesians

Arab Indonesians (Arabic: عرب إندونيسي‎‎), or Hadharem (Arabic: حضارم‎‎; sing., Hadhrami, Arabic: حضرمي‎‎), informally known as Jama'ah, are citizens of Indonesia of Arab, mainly Hadrami, descent. The group also includes those of Arab descent from other Middle Eastern Arabic speaking nations. Restricted under Dutch East Indies' law until 1919, the community elites later gained economic power through real estate investment and trading. Currently found mainly in Java, especially West Java, they are almost all Muslims.
