Thawb or thobe (Arabic: ثَوْب lit. 'dress' or 'garment'), also known as jubba (Arabic: جُبَّه)[1] dishdashah (Arabic: دِشْدَاشَة) and kandura (Arabic: كَنْدُورَة), is an Arab dress for the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula in varieties of Arabic. A long-sleeved ankle-length traditional robe, it is mainly worn by men in the Arabian Peninsula, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, North Africa, and some countries in East and West Africa, with regional variations in name and style. Depending on local traditions, a thawb can be worn in formal or informal settings; in the Gulf states thobes are the main formal attire for men.[2] The term "thobe" is also used in some varieties of Arabic to refer to women's attire, such as in Palestine and Sudan.[3]
Jellabiyas, a traditional garment mainly worn in Egypt and Sudan differ from thawbs, as jellabiyas have a wider cut, no collar (in some cases, no buttons) and longer, wider sleeves.
