Most the countries in the Middle East are Islamic. Muslim women are ordained by Islam to cover their heads and faces, especially when they come out of their houses.

In Israel, which is mostly Jewish, religious Jewish married women cover their hair (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).

Why does nacirema's bake their heads as a ritual?

Nacirema is America spelled backwards. It was written to show people how other cultures feel about the American culture. Baking their heads simply refers to the things American women do that isn't so famous in other cultures. For example, Tanning. Keep in mind that some cultures do not have microwaves or even ovens, so they would consider baking a turkey "baking your head" as well.
