It is also becoming increasingly common amongst the conservative women of Pakistan and Turkey. Traditional abayas are black, and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head, or a long black caftan.Married Women wear it in United Arab EmiratesOmanQatarand Arabs of southern Iran and southeastern Turkey. This tradition has almost died out in the newer generations. Older women usually not younger than 50, and those living in rural areas can still be seen wearing them.
