Why do Arabs like to wear white?

This is because the color white reflects strong sunlight and absorbs less heat.

An area of about 14.2 million square kilometers, is located in Asia, Africa, the combination of two continents, the African part of the 72%, the Asian part of the 28%, with an important strategic geographic location, the weather is hot, so like white.

The population of the Arab world is about 230 million (2006), of which the proportion of young people is the largest, less than half of the population is less than 15 years old. Most Arabs live in coastal areas and around river valleys. The most prominent example is Egypt, where 90% of the population lives on only 5% of the land.
