Generally Four types of Muslim male head covering.

  • the skullcap (taqiyah or `araqiyeh)
  • the fez (tarbush/tarboosh)
  • the turban (the cloth shaal, the result imma or ihram)
  • the draped headscarf and band (kufiya or kefijeh - or strictly ghoutra - and `iqal)

Sometimes the skulcap and fez is also refered to as kufiya.

That which looks like a cap with no bill is called a "kufi" pronounced koo-fee.

That which many Saudis and Kuwaitis wear which looks like a triangular cloth draped over the head and shoulders is called a "shimaag" pronounced shi-mahg or an "amaamah" pronounced ah-maa-ma.
