Black bisht: symbol of authority and prestige

Although its name evokes the Saudi kingdom, this traditional garment is widespread in all Gulf countries. Wear it over a Saudi thobe to embody elegance while conforming to Arab culture. Some other countries in the Muslim world also have their variant. In the Maghreb for example, men wear a djellaba.
