One way that tradition is evident in Southwest Asia is through traditional clothing. Many countries in the region, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Oman, have distinct traditional garments that are still worn by people today. For example, the abaya, a long sleeveless black cloak, is commonly worn by women in Saudi Arabia. Similarly, men in Iran often wear the traditional long-sleeved tunic called a "Qamis" or "Kameez" along with a hat called a "Taqiyah." These traditional clothing items reflect the deep-rooted cultural and religious traditions of the region.
