Qatari clothing

A Qatari family wearing customary clothing

Qatari clothing is similar to other Persian Gulf countries, typically consisting of a ghutra, agal, and thawb for men, and an abaya and shayla for women. Face veils, usually either a niqāb or burqa, are sometimes worn by women.[1] Depending on the context and setting, men and women will make micro-adjustments to their dress to better suit the situation, such as tilting the agal for men or loosening the abaya for women in informal contexts.[2] Some differences exist between rural (Bedouin) and urban traditional dress, although these variations are mostly minor and superficial.[3]
