The men’s and women’s clothing in the UAE society resembles those of neighboring Gulf societies. Men wear the “Kandora” which is the traditional Arab dress with the addition of the “Tarboush” in the middle which comes in the same color as the “Kandora”. Men also wear the “Shemagh” or the “Ghutra” on the head topped with the “Agal” with its black circular shape. Underwear is usually of cool white cotton to fit the climate of the region. As for women, they usually wear the veiled Jalabiya under the black cloak and the Sheila or “veil”. Some of them cover their faces with what is known as the “Niqab”. Many of the details of this heritage, especially regarding women, are customary in the Arabian Peninsula even before the advent of Islam.
