Who dominates this community?
Khaleeji Somalis are pretty diverse. No one really dominates. In the UAE, as an example, you've got a lot of Isaaqs among the oldies in Abu Dhabi but then lots of Hartis and Hawiyes in Dubai and Sharjah. Just generally varies.

i've met many kids in somalia who lived in the gulf. Many were in Jedda saudi arabia and dubai.
In Oman and eastern Yemen it's much more Hartis and Daroods in general. A lot of them have even assimilated into the Arab tribes there. In western Yemen it tends to be Isaaqs. In the northern UAE it's pretty mixed with a fair bit of Isaaqs and Hartis among the older communities. Beesha barakaysan mostly dominate Abu Dhabi, both its old and new communities. I'm not as familiar with Saudi, I'll admit. You maybe right but I definitely have several Harti relations assimilated into there.

When it comes to Somali Khaliji citizens.
Bahrain and Oman are predominantly Harti majority.
Saudi and Qatar are predominantly Isaaq.
Im honestly not familiar with local somalis in UAE but I heard its somewhat close to what you mentioned. Kuwait is what I call the Somali meting pot where you can find all Qabils there but sadly those who hold the Kuwaiti citizenship are less than 0.01%

I knew the SNM part but a lot of Somalis have left the Khaleej for the West. Reminds me of my grandpa’s generation who left Yemen and that’s when Isaaqs were the majority of Somalis in Aden
Wallahi im so glad for her, its always a great sight seeing somalis excelling in any field anywhere, i wish nothing but more success for her.
It's also cool seeing how Saudi Arabia is making all these big moves and opening up more to the world... Im also lowkey jealous of how well run their country is compared to Egypt - i grew up there- in a time where all the biggest companies in the world are opening offices in Saudi Arabia and holding events, egyptians are still struggling with basic needs like stable electricity and having unlimited internet which is almost unattainable there and that's just the tip of the iceberg..... So bizarre seeing a country that was once the leading force in the region fall so behind and fumble a 100 years head start to a country that had laws againt women driving vehicles up til 2017
