Which feature of the men's kandura in the UAE extends to the waist, unlike the shorter version in Oman?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The tassel
- Step 1: In the UAE and Oman men's thobes have no collar, use frog closures as placket fasteners, and include tassels. Answer: The tassel. In Oman the tassels tend to be short, and in the UAE they extend to the waist. Why not the others: The agal is the doubled black cord that keeps a keffiyeh in place, and the ghutra and keffiyeh are headcloths, not a feature of the thobe itself.
