Eid is a time of joy, reflection, and togetherness—and what you wear should reflect the spirit of the celebration. Whether you’re attending Eid prayers, visiting family, or preparing for festive gatherings, traditional Arab clothing adds beauty and meaning to the occasion.

For Women: Grace and Modesty in Every Detail

The abaya is one of the most popular choices for women during Eid.
Look for fabrics like satin, nida, or crepe, often detailed with embroidery, lace, or delicate beadwork to give your look a festive feel. Neutral tones like champagne, blush, or emerald green are elegant alternatives to traditional black.

You can also opt for a Moroccan kaftan, known for its luxurious structure and formal design, especially for evening events or Eid dinners.

Don’t forget accessories:

  • A matching shayla or silk scarf
  • Elegant clutch or crossbody bag
  • Soft makeup and henna details

For Men: Clean Cuts and Cultural Pride

The kandura (or thawb) is the go-to garment for men across the Gulf during Eid.
A white or beige kandura offers a classic look, but light greys, blues, or tailored versions with cuff accents can add a modern touch.

Pair your outfit with a ghutra (headscarf) and agal (cord) for formal settings, especially during Eid prayers or family photos.
