Agal
The Agal is a traditional Arabian accessory, primarily worn by men in the Gulf region. It is a black cord made from goat hair or synthetic materials, used to secure the ghutrah or keffiyeh, which are types of headscarves. The Agal serves both a practical purpose, keeping the headscarf in place, and a cultural one, symbolizing heritage and identity.
Typically worn with traditional attire, the Agal is often paired with a thobe, a long robe commonly worn in Middle Eastern countries. While it is a simple accessory, the Agal holds significant cultural importance and is a recognizable element of Arabian dress.
