An abaya is a loose-fitting, full-length outer garment worn by some Muslim women to cover their clothing in public. It is commonly worn in the Middle East and North Africa and is often black in color, although it can come in various styles and colors.

Qatari women, especially older ones, wear the "abayah". Which is a long black cover-up that covers the entire body and a he jib which is a head covering.
Hi. actually they don't have custom like their men, but what you see is called "abayah" or "hijab" they wear it just outdoors/ nearby strange men, not in home or to a relatives.
Iraqi fashion has been rapidly growing and changing over the past years. Western influence has caused many people in urban areas to abandon their traditional apparel and wear t-shirts, skirts, and skinny jeans. The most popular type of traditional fashion is probably the abayah, which is a unisex, ankle-reaching, light fabric cloak that is both casual and formal. Veiling, the practice of a woman covering her head or face with a veil in public is also very popular. Hope this helps.
