The '''Al Kandari''' is a large clan in Kuwait, while not the same as more coherent clans or tribes in the region who come from a single main brranch, they are made up of loosely connected families and tribes; as each Kandari family may have different grandfathers, but as all have to come to kuwait at similar times, the clan took the name after some of the first members who came to Kuwait who were working as "Kanadra" or water carriers in Kuwait. Therefore the Al Kandari are simply a sizable Kuwaiti clan with various sub-families; closely related to each other. They are mainly composed of Sunni Muslim [[Achomi people|Larestani]] ancestry.<ref name="khodmooni">{{cite web |url=https://www.neelwafurat.com/itempage.aspx?id=lbb391342-388816&search=books|title=كتاب تاريخ جنوب فارس لارستان وبستك|author=Mehran|date=2 March 2023|language=Arabic}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=USI2LPGol30|title=كتاب تاريخ جنوب فارس لارستان وبستك|author=khodo mania|date=27 April 2023|language=Arabic}}</ref> Until clear DNA studies are done, AL-Kandari clan can be considered largely as a collection of families that may include people from [[Bastak County|Bastak region]], [[Bandar Abbas County|bandar abbas]], [[Huwala people|Huwla Arab]] and Larestani people.
