The traditional dress of the men and women of Drâa

About

The official traditional costume of the men of the Drâa Valley consists of a Darrâa; a gandoura and a headdress: the Feroual; in the form of a fine fabric ribbon. In winter, the men wear the burnous, a thick woolen sheet carefully woven with a hood. The woman covers herself with an Izar (cloth) or a black or white Malhfa. This long cloth is held at chest level by two large silver fibulas and is belted at the waist.
