Malabis Qadima

For day-to-day life, something common like the thobe for men or the abaya for women is worn. But for special occasions such as weddings malabis qadima is worn.

These things are often linked with specific regions within the Arabian Peninsula, and so there is a great level of diversity. No two regional dresses are the same, and even regions near each other produce two very different dresses.

Pictured here are three examples of traditional dresses worn to events like Henna Night. 

On the Gallery tab, there is an example of Hejazi and Asiri regional dresses.
