A long loose-fitting robe or garment worn by men in some Arab and North African countries.
From Arabic 'galabiyyah' (جلابية), which may derive from the Berber language or earlier Arabic roots. The garment has been worn in the Levant and North Africa for centuries.
The galabiyyah is designed perfectly for desert climates—the loose fit allows air circulation, the long sleeves protect from sun, and it's become a symbol of cultural identity and tradition across the Arab world.
