The kandura is a traditional garment commonly worn in the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in countries like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. It is typically a long, ankle-length robe made from lightweight fabric, designed for comfort in hot climates. The kandura is often white, but it can also come in various colors, especially during special occasions. Men usually wear the kandura as part of their daily attire, often paired with a headscarf called a ghutrah or agal. The garment symbolizes cultural identity and is associated with modesty and elegance. In some regions, women may wear a similar garment known as an abaya.
