Bisht
A Bisht is a traditional cloak worn in the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It is typically made from lightweight, flowing fabric and is often worn over formal attire during special occasions, such as weddings or religious ceremonies. The Bisht is usually black, brown, or cream and may feature intricate embroidery along the edges.
The Bisht serves both a practical and cultural purpose, providing warmth and protection from the sun while also symbolizing status and elegance. It is commonly associated with men, but variations exist for women as well. The garment reflects the rich heritage and traditions of Arab culture.
