Saif Al Ghurair is a billionaire from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, who was born in 1923. He is the former chairman of the Al Ghurair Group, a family holding company, and is part of an old Dubai merchant family that harvested pearls from the Arabian Gulf. In the 1930s, a stormy boat trip to India to sell dates left him blind in one eye. His six sons hold positions in the group, which has interests in banking, steel and packaging. He owns nearly 40% of Mashreq Bank, a leading Emirati bank run by his nephew, Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair.
