What is it?

Arafatka is a fashionable and graceful modern accessory that complements the image. The famous square scarf scarf got its name from the Arab leader Yasser Arafat.

This piece of national costume is also called kufiya, a Palestinian shawl, shemakh or shemagh. A traditional hat perfectly protects your head from the sun. The presence of a different pattern on shawls in Palestinian countries indicates belonging to a particular people, and the color composition indicates status in society. The ornament can tell about the region of residence.
