AL MADINAH THOBE PLAIN & ARABIC

A thawb (alternatively spelled thobe, thaub, or thob)[a][b] is a unisex garment traditionally worn in the Arab world. It is a long-sleeved, ankle-length robe that has regional variations in name and style.[1] It can be worn in formal or informal settings, depending on the social and cultural norms in question; thawbs are the main formal attire for men in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.[2] Outside of the Arab world, the garment has been adopted in a number of Muslim-majority areas, particularly in the Indian subcontinent, where it is commonly referred to as a jubbah[3][4][5] and is frequently worn by those who regard it as sunnah (i.e., something practiced, spoken, or observed by Muhammad, the founding Islamic prophet) due to its modest appearance.[6]
