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).
