Izaar

An izaar, also izar or ʾizār (Arabic: إِزَار),[1] also known as maʿawaz (مَعَوَز),[2] futah (فُوطَة),[3] wizar (وِزَار),[4][5] maqtab (مَقْطَب)[6][7] is a traditional lower garment that is frequently used by men in Oman, Somalia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Yemenis commonly wear izzars at home and work.[8] It is also used by some in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Ethiopia and Eritrea). A white izaar is typically worn underneath thawbs in Oman and the UAE instead of sirwal sunnnah.
