East West Souk Black & White Keffiyeh/Shemagh (Head Cover) (without Aqal)

The Kofiya, also known as a ghutrah, shemagh, or ḥaṭṭah, is a traditional Arab headdress made from a square, usually cotton, scarf. It is typically worn by Arab men and has been a part of Middle Eastern culture for over a century. Commonly found in arid regions, the Kofiya provides protection from direct sun exposure and helps shield the mouth and eyes from dust and sand.

The black and white Kofiya is particularly recognized as a symbol of Palestinian heritage.
