National Clothing

In Dubai the local men and women have their own style of dressing still worn by some of them today. For the women they wear a hijab (scarf which covers their neck and head), abaya (long black robe), and for some women - usually the older generation, they will wear a niqab, which covers their mouth and nose, only exposing their eyes. The men wear a dish dash (a long white robe) and a keffiyeh (a long white head scarf).
