What are those called?
Hijab's are headwear for muslim women.
 
These are called hijabs or ?ij?b for the Arabic term. You may also hear the male hijab or similar garments specifically for men called Keffiyeh. The long garment that covers their body would be a Thawb (Dishdasha).
 
Men wear a scarf called ghutra. The rope to hold it on is called agal. The white dress is called thobe or dishdasha. Women wear hijab.
