Kufiya

The keffiyeh, also regionally known as a hattah, ghutrah (غُتْرَة), or shemagh (شُمَاغ), is a traditional headdress worn by men from parts of the Middle East and North Africa. It is fashioned from a square scarf, and is usually made of cotton. The keffiyeh is commonly found in arid regions, as it protects from sunburn, dust, and sand. A head cord, agal, is often used by Arabs to keep the keffiyeh in place.
