Purpose:

Sun protection: In hot desert environments, the Arabian square protects the head and neck from direct sunlight.
Dust and wind: in a sandstorm or wind-blown environment, the square towel can be used to cover the face to prevent the inhalation of sand and dust.
Warm: It can also provide some warmth on cold nights.
How to wear it: There are many ways to wear the Arabic scarf, the most common is to fold it in half into a triangle and wrap it around the head, and the ends can be tied behind the neck or draped over the shoulders.

Cultural symbol: In some Arab countries, the shawl is not only a functional garment, but also a symbol of culture and identity. For example, the Palestinian Kufiya (black and white square) has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism.

Modern application: In addition to traditional uses, the Arabic square has also been widely used in modern fashion, becoming a fashion accessory. Many people wear scarves as scarves, turbans or belts.

The Arabic scarf is not only practical, but also carries rich cultural connotation and historical background
