If you thought that the Ghutra – the Arab head-dress – is only used to protect the wearer’s head from the sun, you’re missing the whole point. The Arab has adapted it’s use to modern technology as well as the traditional uses…

    For a brief moment I thought it was going to be either porn or someone getting Punk’d.

    CLASSSIIIICC!!

    🙂
    i was wondering what other cultures have atire that can provide the same functionality… a scotish kilt?? not very practical …. maybe an indian sari… the cloth slung around one shoulder could surely be used !!

    but u must admit.. this guy was cautious and creative…. i’m sure his bank is VERY proud of him 😛

    The most stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. Mahmood, I hope you don’t do such ridiculous things.

    Brilliant… tradition meets modernity.

    The 3gal also has some interesting modern uses… asides from its traditional use a hobble for camels, I’ve seen it used as a whip during street fights in Bahrain.

    Anything else?

    I wish I could take credit for it but I can’t, it was forwarded to me in an email, it was obviously taken with a cameraphone and you’re right it is a classic! All I did for this one is put my intro.

    How do the Emirati’s wear the ghutra? How do they fold/tie it to end up with the wrap around/knot in back?
