Burqa

  • Description: This photo was taken of an Emirati woman wearing a burqa during the Sharjah Heritage Days Festival. The burqa reflects one of the long-standing symbols of traditional Emirati attire, as married women in the past were committed to wearing it as part of societal customs. Today, some women, particularly the elderly, continue to wear the burqa as an expression of their connection to traditional values and heritage.
