Camels
keeper of the camels
Traditional dress predominates in rural areas. For men,
traditional dress includes a loose cotton garment called a thobe, which can be
covered with a woolen robe called a bisht in cool weather. Women traditionally
wear a concealing cloak called an abayya. In Manama many restaurants serve
Western-style food, but at home most Bahrainis eat traditional foods, including
lamb, fish (especially hamour, a kind of grouper), rice, and dates. Coffee, a
favorite beverage, plays an important social and ceremonial role.
