The Ghutra is a traditional Arab headscarf similar to the Shemagh, but it is usually white or has a subtle monochrome border, more simple and elegant, and is very common in many Gulf Arab countries (such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, etc.).

Functions and Uses:

Formal wear: Ghutra is often used on formal occasions, religious events or national celebrations. It is not only an everyday headwear, but also a status symbol through which the wearer displays the cultural background and social status of the individual.

Climate protection: 

Like Shemagh, Ghutra is used to protect the wearer from the hot sun, wind, sand and cold, especially in desert areas.

Main features:

1.Color: The most typical Ghutra is all white, but there are also some styles with light or gold borders, and unlike the more sophisticated Shemagh, the Ghutra emphasizes simplicity and elegance.

2.How to wear it: 

The Ghutra is usually worn in a similar manner to the Shemagh, with a square piece of fabric folded in half into a triangle and secured to the top of the head with an Agal (a round black rope loop). Agal not only plays a fixed role, but also adds to the wearer's sense of grooming.

3.Cultural significance: 

Ghutra is often considered an important part of the traditional dress of men in the Gulf countries, symbolizing respect and status. The white Ghutra is considered more formal and dignified in many Arab countries, especially at business occasions or state ceremonies.
