Houses and Clothing in the Middle East

Dwellings: The walls are thick, the windows are small to reduce the temperature difference, and some places put beds on the roof to sleep.

Clothing: Due to the high temperature in the Middle East, people generally choose light and comfortable fabrics, and the styles are also the most popular. Products involve children's wear, ready-made clothes, sweaters, scarves, headscarves, socks and so on. The traditional clothing for men is a white headscarf and a wide white robe, because white reflects strong sunlight and absorbs less heat.

Women: In the Arab world, most women have the rules and habits of wearing burqa. In fact, it is a loose black coat, but the robe is different in style, color, cutting and even wearing style because of different customs in different countries. In addition, influenced by western fashion trends, women's burqa in the Middle East also keeps up with fashion trends, and is no longer just a simple black cloth.
