Thabit said, “You can wear your own clothes from your country, but in moderation, of course. Some locations, such as a mosque (a place of worship) may require special garments. If you are not sure, just ask.”

Thabit added, “Islam is the official religion and practiced by 90% of the population, so you will see many women wearing the abaya (loose black robe), burka (loose robe with a face veil) or a veil covering their head. Men wear loose long, flowing robes like the galabiyya due to the hot climate or even a more formal dishdasha. Some men also wear a keffiyeh/kufiya (head scarf) or shemagh (head scarf with rope circlet called agal used to secure in place).”
