- Description:The keffiyeh or kufiya (Arabic: meaning "from the city of Kufa") is a traditional Arab headdress, or what is sometimes called a habit, worn in the Middle East with origins from the Fertile Crescent (Iraq, the Levant, and Egypt) fashioned from a square scarf, usually made of cotton. In Jordan, the red-and-white keffiyeh is strongly associated with the country and its heritage, because the red colour was introduced into the Keffiyeh by the Jordanian Bedouins under British rule.
