Jubbah

What is a "jubbah"?

A jubbah is a loose-fitting garment traditionally worn by men in Arab and Muslim countries. It is usually made of cotton or wool and extends from the shoulders to the ankles, sometimes with long sleeves. Jubbah is worn over other clothes and is often used as an outer garment for protection against the sun and dust in desert regions. The garment is also associated with modesty and religious observance, as it covers the body in a conservative manner. The style and design of jubbahs can vary depending on the region, with different patterns, colors, and materials used to reflect cultural and social values.
