Photo 5 - Shopping

Take your pick, gents!

A typical image of an Arab man has to be in Khandura (the beautiful white robe) with headdress (Ghuttra or Keffiyah) held on with a black cord (Ekal).  And just as ladies might have a whole store devoted to say; handbags or shoes, men here have the same indulgence. 

In Sharjah I discovered a whole shop dedicated to Ekals. Truly amazing!
