Keffiyeh

The keffiyeh (Arabic: كُوفِيَّة, romanized: Kūfīyah),^[1] also regionally known as a hattah (حَطَّة, ḥaṭṭa), ghutrah (غترة), or shemagh (شماغ), is a traditional headdress worn by men from parts of the Middle East. It is fashioned from a square scarf, and is usually made of cotton.^[2] The keffiyeh is commonly found in arid regions, as it protects from sunburn, dust, and sand. A head cord, agal, is often used by Arabs to keep the keffiyeh in place.^[3]
