Arabic Keffiyeh Shemagh Scarf – Checkered for Sun & Sand Protection

A Keffiyeh is a traditional Middle Eastern headdress made of square-shaped cloth, typically worn to protect against the harsh sun and sand in the desert. It is most commonly associated with Arab culture, especially in regions such as Palestine, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The fabric, often made from cotton or a cotton-blend, features a distinctive checkered pattern, usually in black and white, though it can come in a variety of colors. The Keffiyeh has cultural, political, and historical significance, symbolizing solidarity and heritage. It is worn by people of all ages and is often seen as a statement of identity and pride. In addition to its practical use for protection from the sun, the Keffiyeh has become an iconic fashion accessory, worn around the neck, head, or shoulders, offering a blend of tradition and style. Its versatility allows it to be styled in various ways, making it suitable for both everyday wear and formal occasions. Whether worn as a cultural symbol or a fashion statement, the Keffiyeh remains an enduring part of Middle Eastern culture and fashion.
