What is a shemagh and how is it different from a ghutra?
A shemagh is a square scarf typically made of cotton or wool, worn primarily in the Middle East. It is most commonly seen in red and white checkered patterns but can also be plain. The ghutra, on the other hand, is usually plain white and is also worn in a similar fashion. Both the shemagh and ghutra serve practical purposes, such as protecting the wearer from sun, wind, and sand. In modern times, these headscarves are also worn for cultural and fashion purposes.
What is an agal and why is it worn?
The agal is a black cord used to hold the ghutra or shemagh in place. Traditionally, it was made from goat hair and symbolizes Arabian culture. The agal is not only functional but also has cultural significance, often representing modesty, respect, and heritage. It is typically worn by men in the Arabian Peninsula, especially in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.
How do I tie a shemagh or ghutra?
Tying a shemagh or ghutra is an art that varies by region. One of the most common methods involves folding the shemagh into a triangle and draping it over the head, then securing it with an agal.
What is the significance of the Arab hat?
The Arab hat, often worn in regions like Oman and Sudan, is a part of the traditional outfit for men. The hat varies in style from region to region and is usually worn beneath the ghutra or shemagh. It adds to the overall cultural attire and reflects the wearer's identity and social standing.
