The Turban


Although the Turban did not originate in Morocco.The turban is traditional and is a very practical head dress used for many purposes. The nomads of the Sahara Desert use the turban to protect them selves from the wind, dust, and cold during those harsh dry cold winter days. Also against the pounding heat of the day. In the hot Sahara Desert a turban helps keep a cool moist layer between the skin and the fabric. This way, the skin is protected and at the same time the body doesn’t loose too much water through evaporation. Touareg wear a turban and cover their faces except the eyes even when they need to eat or drink.

The Moroccan people dress in the traditional robes that have been used in Morocco for centuries.The most universally seen local garments is the djellaba, a loose-fitting outer robe that men and women pull over their garments.
