When you are in Qatar be as a Qatari...

Doha (Qatar)

I'm perfectly equipped, as you can see...
I'm wearing a local head cover - called a Simagh - held in place by a black band called Eqal.
To complete I hold Komboloi worry beads.

Local men place a scull cap underneath the cover called a Taqiya.
The men’s long gowns are called a Kandourh.
Local ladies dresses are called Sheela
and their head cover and face mask called Abaya & Niqab.
