Underneath the Garthra

I am one month here in Doha and I am just wondering, what do Qatari men wear underneath their white garthra dress? Is it the common underwear like shirt and boxer shorts? briefs? nothing at all??? what? ....I'm curious for a conservative society like this, they must be wearing something underneath!

If your curiosity is not satisfied, go and ask a Qatari man, what is he wearing inside?? LOL

Don't feel embarrassed, If you get a nasty replied back from one of them, you ask for it! LOL

respectfully LOL

under the thobe is a white cotton T-shirt or vest with white cotton pyjama type trousers (underneath that is regular underwear). All about keeping cool.

under the ghuttra (large piece of white headgear) is a small ghafiya (cap) usually with a woven pattern to allow holes for ventilation. Again, very practical for the weather here as ghuttra can be wwrapped around face and head to block sun and wind (and cold!)
