Al Khaleej (Arabic: الخليج) is a daily Arabic-language broadsheet newspaper published in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates by Dar Al Khaleej. Dar Al Khaleej struggled to survive in its first decade and the newspaper was stopped from 1972 to 1980.

During 1980 - 1983 Adly Barsoum Egyptian Journalist and writer - joined the newspaper as deputy editor-in chief, he played a major role in the reformation and development of the newspaper. During the developing process Al Khaleej became one of the most important publications in the Arab Gulf. Adly Barsoum had made a major coverage while working at Al Khaleej when he was the only Arab journalist who entered Beirut during the Israeli invation of the city in 1982, and he met with Yasser Arafat for one of the most important interviews during these crucial times.

The purchase of new printing equipment in the 1990s enabled the company to increase the number of pages and print other publications. Al Khaleej is now one of the most popular Arabic-language newspapers in the country.
