Men and boys wear the thawb , an ankle length piece of clothing which is long and fits loosely, Athough the thawb covers almost the entire body, it allows air to circulate freely. This piece of clothing was traditionally made of cotton, but it is also made of other kinds of cloth.
Men also wear a ghutra an iqal on their heads.
This is a square head cloth with a double circle of black rope or cord to hold it on the head. Today Saudi men and boys wear this head cloth not only with the thawh , but also with work clothes. It is folded diagonally to make a triangle. Women and girls in Saudi Arabia wear a long dress with long sleeves. The dress is long so that it can cover every part of the body because our religion does not allow us to show any parts of our body.
