Hi friends, did you know that Saudi Arabia is full of amazing cultures and traditions?

00:10.880 --> 00:15.400
One way people in Saudi Arabia show their cultures through their clothing, let's explore

00:15.400 --> 00:20.680
how clothing changes in different regions of Saudi Arabia, and what makes it special.

00:20.680 --> 00:25.280
First, let's visit the naj'd region in central Saudi Arabia.

00:25.280 --> 00:29.680
It's super hot here, so people wear clothes that help them stay cool.

00:29.680 --> 00:35.920
And wear a thawb, which is like a long robe, and sometimes a fished, a cloak, four cooler

00:35.920 --> 00:37.080
months.

00:37.080 --> 00:40.920
They also wear Guccira and a gall to complete their look.

00:40.920 --> 00:45.000
Women wear simple, elegant abias that show modesty.

00:45.000 --> 00:51.240
Next, we travel south to the Asir region, where the mountains are high, and the clothes

00:51.240 --> 00:53.240
are colorful.

00:53.240 --> 00:59.040
Women's clothing here is full of bright embroidery, perfect for celebrations like the Al-Jana

00:59.040 --> 01:01.000
Drya Festival.

01:01.000 --> 01:06.720
Men's clothes are heavier to keep warm and look amazing during dances and performances.

01:06.720 --> 01:13.000
Now, let's head west to the hijaz region, where history meets trade.

01:13.000 --> 01:18.880
Men often wear white or striped thawbs, and women wear black abias with beautiful embroidery.

01:18.880 --> 01:24.040
For religious festivals like Hodge, men wear a special white outfit called Ihram, to show

01:24.040 --> 01:26.560
a quality and purity.

01:27.120 --> 01:32.280
Finally, let's cool off in the eastern province by the sea.

01:32.280 --> 01:37.000
Because it's so humid here, people wear clothes made of light fabrics like cotton and linen

01:37.000 --> 01:38.920
to stay comfortable.

01:38.920 --> 01:44.120
Even women's abias are made to feel airy and cool in this hot coastal region.

01:44.120 --> 01:49.920
Wow, we've learned so much about the tapestry of Saudi cultures.

01:49.920 --> 01:52.120
Clothing isn't just about what we wear.

01:52.120 --> 01:54.760
It tells a story about where we live and who we are.
