Jellaba - traditional Berber clothes, which is a long, with a pointed hood, loose robe with magnificent sleeves, common among men and women of the Arabic-speaking countries of the Mediterranean Sea, mainly North African. To date, it is most common in Morocco [1] .

Traditionally, jellabs were made from coarse wool or cotton. In a number of Berber tribes, the color of the jellaba was intended to show the family status of the person who wore it (dark brown jellaba were worn by bachelors). The presence of a hood in the clothes is explained by the need to protect from the sun and sand in the hot desert climate; also in the hood sometimes provided a kind of pocket for storing a small amount of food.
