Jellabiya

The Dschallabija ( جلابية ), egyptian most pronounced galabia, is a traditional garment in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt and the Sudan, which is still worn mainly in the rural areas west of the Nile. The Galabija is a long shirt-like garment with wide sleeves and very full skirt part, has a chest slot and traditionally no collar.

Among today undershirt and boxer shorts are often worn, but this is a relatively new development, because sooner people wore no underwear. In winter, several Dschallabijen are often attracted from a warmer substance above the other or wear a sweater underneath.

The charges in Arabia robes, the dishdasha and the Thawb ( thobe ) are much narrower cut, in the United Arab Emirates and Oman are still A-shape issued dishdasha is common, while in Saudi Arabia the most straight-cut thobe worn.

Djellaba does that mean in Morocco for men and women worn garment, which is provided in contrast to Dschallabija with a long pointed hood. It also differs from the Egyptian Dschallabija by the fairly narrow, straight cut, which also makes Gehschlitze hem required.

It is assumed that these Middle Eastern garment shapes are all derived from the ancient Roman tunic, since pre-Roman mostly significantly different clothing is handed down.
