Figure 1.--This Dubai boy wears what looks like a turban, although we are not sure that is the correct term in Arabic. Turbans are also worn in South Asia. We have not researched the history of the turban yet. |

We have little information on the clothes worn in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We note boys commonly wearing traditional styles. We do have one image of a Dubai boy wearing destinctive headgear, which I assume is called a turban (figure 1). Here I am not sure as we have not yet done much work on Arab garments. We have no other information on the UAE, except some limited information about the Scouting movement there.
