Local women in Dubai dressed in traditional Muslim style.
Local women dressed in traditional Muslim style. A hijab is both the head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women and modest Muslim styles of dress in general. The Arabic word literally means curtain or cover, based on the root meaning to cover, to veil, to shelter. Most Islamic legal systems define this type of modest dressing as covering everything except the face and hands in public. Here, one woman is covered with only her eyes showing, the other has a simple headdress that allows her face to be seen.
