Traditional clothing from the Arab world.

[al-Hasani]

Just a tiny percentage of the traditional Arab clothing that is worn in parts of the beautiful Arabian Peninsula.

Here you can see some Hejazi (Makkawi) clothing. I am sure that none of you have seen it before! Please watch the whole video if possible.

This is a typical Yemeni clothing but there are a lot of varieties depending on the region.

Not bad my friend. I prefer the more traditional ones or just Western clothes. But actually it is not bad at all.

Correct me if i am wrong, Jeddah people are "modernizing" the kandoora by adding new elements and designs to it. Am i right?

For me the simple Kandoora is more good looking than the ones with new additions and designs. Probably i am an old fashioned man that is why.
