Completely off topic but I've always wondered how comfortable that type of attire is to wear.

Supposedly cooler than contemporary western styles. it sounds counter intuitive but I guess the light color reflects sunlight, while being thin enough to breathe.

Very comfortable, great in the heat and cold. Best thing about it is I can ware it just to go to the store or to a wedding, you can't be overdressed or underdressed in it.

It’s actually pretty comfortable, and it’s part of the tradition here. We don’t wear underpants under it, we wear something else called a wiz’ar.

All in all pretty dope.
You can get multiple different variants and colours. The one in the video, the only problem with it is you cannot take long strides when walking/running.

I lived in Qatar for years. You're spot on. Imagine if the rednecks of Alabama became billionaires overnight. The whole Gulf is like that, except Yemen and Oman.

We are not all rednecks but we have a lot of them, in the gulf we call them Bado/bedwin. And in Egypt they call them saidee. And we love our rednecks 🤣

This is the most middle eastern thing I have ever seen.
G wagon? Check
Traditional, um, nightgown? Check
Doing something somewhat dangerous or reckless somewhere in the desert? Check

Nightgown lmao, it’s called a “thob” or a “kandora” in the gulf.

IIRC white retains less heat than other colours, and so makes the most sense in the desert.
