Kandura and Abaya

This pic is borrowed from the person and site listed down below until I get my own to post here.
Anyway this is exactly what all of the UAE Nationals wear, and I see dozens of them every day. The Abaya for women and the Kandura for men, sometimes called the Dish Dash. It looks pretty smart I think.

One absolutely remarkable thing about the Dish Dash is that I have never seen one that is dirty OR wrinkled. Not a word of a lie.! They are always impeccable. Apparently some people own 50 of these or more with 20 or so at the cleaners at any given time.
I have heard that if you are a National it is law that you must wear the official dress.
