Arabian cloaks, also known as burnooses, are traditional garments worn by people in the Middle East. They are usually made of wool or cotton and feature a hood and long, loose-fitting sleeves. The term 'burnoose' is derived from the Arabic word 'burnus, ' which means 'CLOAK.' Burnooses are often brightly colored and decorated with intricate embroidery. They are typically worn as a sign of respect and are seen as a symbol of honor and status.
