Chefchaouen man in traditional Jellaba

Chefchaouen is still a traditonal mountain town

The man in this picture is wearing a traditional jellaba. This garment is worn by both men and women in Morocco and is traditionally made of cotton and silk or wool. The garment is worn over regular clothes and is worn outside the house. Most jellabas have a pointy hood which is worn to keep warm as well as cool in the sunshine.
