The company, whose name literally means ''Gulf House'', was founded by brothers Taryam Omran Taryam (1942–2002) and Abdullah Omran Taryam (1948–2014). Dar Al Khaleej struggled to survive in its first decade, and the newspaper was stopped from 1972 to 1980. 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.

''Al Khaleej'' Center for Studies

The ''Al Khaleej'' Studies Center was established within the framework of the Dar Al Khaleej Press, Printing, Publishing and Distribution Foundation in mid-1980, after the re-issuance of ''Al Khaleej'' newspaper in April of the same year. The center developed from a small studies department into a specialized unit in 1999, and in 2004 the unit was developed into a studies center, concerned with publishing books, research and reports, while organizing specialized scientific, cultural and intellectual seminars.
