What are Omani Thobes & Jubbas?

The Omani thobe, also known as an Omani jubba or Omani kandura, is known for its structured shape and signature tassel called the furakha. This tassel sits at the neckline and sets the Omani style apart from other Gulf thobes.

An Omani thobe usually features:

• A collar or short stand neckline
• Slightly heavier fabric for a sharper drape
• Clean stitching with minimal decoration, sometimes finished with subtle embroidery

Omani style thobes are commonly worn for Friday prayers, formal events, and family occasions. For weddings and Eid, white or cream Omani jubba thobes are popular, while darker shades such as navy, olive, or grey suit evening wear. This style appeals to men who prefer a defined silhouette without excess detail.

Omani Style Thobes in Various Colours

Our range includes both classic and modern shades. Lighter colours suit daytime wear and warmer months, while darker tones offer flexibility for regular use and formal settings.

What are Emirati Thobes?

The Emirati thobe is recognised for its smooth, flowing cut and understated finish. Often referred to as an Emirati kandura, it is collarless with a clean neckline and hidden fastening, designed to sit naturally on the body.

Key features of Emirati thobes

• Collarless neckline with a minimal look
• Lightweight fabrics ideal for frequent wear
• A relaxed fit that works across body types

White Emirati thobes remain the most popular choice for weddings and Eid prayers, while beige, light grey, and soft blue are commonly worn day to day. Emirati style thobes are valued for simplicity and ease of movement.

FAQs About Omani and Emirati Thobes

What is the main difference between Omani and Emirati thobes?

The main difference is cut and detailing. Omani thobes have a more structured shape and feature the furakha tassel at the neckline. Emirati thobes are collarless, lighter in feel, and designed with a smooth, flowing fit and minimal detailing.

Are Omani thobes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. While they look formal, many men wear Omani thobes daily, especially in neutral or darker colours. Lighter fabrics and simpler embroidery make them practical for regular prayers and mosque visits.

Do Emirati thobes have buttons or zips?

Traditional Emirati thobes usually have a hidden fastening and no visible buttons. Modern versions may include concealed zips for ease while keeping the clean neckline.

How should an Omani or Emirati thobe fit?

A thobe should sit comfortably on the shoulders, fall straight through the body, and reach the ankles without dragging. Omani thobes often have a more defined fit, while Emirati styles allow more natural movement.
