What is a "galabia"?

A galabia, also known as a galabiya, a jalabiya, or a djellaba, is a loose-fitting, ankle-length garment worn by both men and women in many parts of the Middle East and North Africa. The garment typically features long, flowing sleeves, and is made from lightweight materials like cotton, silk, or wool, making it ideal for hot climates. The galabia is often decorated with intricate embroidery or embellishments and is worn on a daily basis by many people in the region, as well as for special occasions such as weddings or religious ceremonies.

The garment is believed to have originated in ancient Mesopotamia and was later adopted and adapted by various cultures over time.
