The Shemagh headscarf, also known as a Kufiyya or Ghutrah, is a traditional headdress primarily worn by men. Crafted from lightweight cotton and an extra-long, square-shaped design, it can be used to protect the head, face and neck from sun, wind, and sand. Highly versatile, it can also be used as a scarf, turban, face covering, or makeshift towel.
