Al Madhkur
The Al Madhkur were an Arab family settled on the Persian coast who ruled the port of Bushehr as sheikhs from the mid-18th century under Persian overlordship. They also governed Bahrain on behalf of Persia until 1783, when the Al Khalifa of Zubarah drove out their governor and took the islands.
