A Yemeni shemagh (also called a Yemeni keffiyeh, shemagh scarf, or Arab headscarf) is a large square woven cloth traditionally worn as a head covering, neck wrap, or shoulder drape across the Middle East, Yemen, and South Asia. The Dawn (Ad-Duha) edition pairs a white base, the most requested colour for Islamic headwear, with a coloured embroidered border so you can match it to your outfit.
