Bahrain's culture is similar to that of its Arab neighbours in the region.
Bahraini men's traditional dress is the Thobe and the traditional headdress which includes the Keffiyeh, Ghutra and Agal.
-
The Thobe is a loose, long-sleeved, ankle-length garment. Summer Thobes are white and made of cotton and winter Thobes are black and made of wool.
-
The Ghutra is a square scarf, made of cotton, and is folded in a triangle and worn over the Keffiyeh. In Bahrain, it is usually red and white checked or all white.
-
The Keffiyeh is a white knitted skull cap worn under the Ghutra.
-
The Agal is a thick, double, black cord that is worn on the top of the Ghutra to hold it in place.
In some occasions, Bahrainis wear a Bisht, which is a cloak made of wool, over the thobe. Unlike the thobe, the Bisht is soft, and it is usually black, brown, or grey.

Women's Traditional Dress
The traditional Bahraini woman dress is the abaya, a long loose-fitting black gown. This is usually worn for outings to public places, such as the mall, supermarket, or Mosque.
Another Womens traditional dress is the Jalabiya, a loose fitting, colorful garment, that can range from knee length to ankle length, and is worn by young girls as well as women. This is usually saved for special occasions, such as Eid, or for visiting friends or close family.
