In Bahrain, while Western-style clothing is common, many men continue to wear traditional attire. This typically includes the thawb, which is a full-length tunic, and a white head cloth known as a kaffiyeh. The kaffiyeh is held in place by a black, camel-hair cord called an ʿiqāl, which can be quite ornate, especially among the political elite.1
