Traditional clothing of Arab States

Women in Arab states usually wear a long black robe called Abayah that covers the body from shoulders to feet. Under this, she could be wearing a traditional Arabian dress or a designer wear. Abayah is worn with a Hijab that covers the neck and part of the head. Some may add a Niqab which covers the mouth and nose leaving just the eyes exposed. Traditional abayah is black in colour but today you might see multiple colours with embroideries.



The same goes for men and depending on the country they reside in or whether they live in a rural or urban area you will find men wearing the western style clothes or they might wear the traditional “Dishdasha”, “Thawb” and “Kaffiyeh” with “Igal”
