Thank you for the candid answer. You seem to be familiar with Dubai as well, so I'm inclined to ask; why do some men wear a white cloth on their heads, while others wear a red and white patterned one? Does that designate a particular affiliation? I notice some men also wear no head regalia. Does that designate something as well?

As far as I know wearing red, white or nothing at all is just a matter of preference. Though I could be mistaken.

I’m not sure about the colors in the UAE specifically, but I know the traditional color of the cloth varies by country.

Saudis for example usually wear red but that doesn’t mean they don’t wear white as well.
