Question for guppies in an Arab country or anyone who may know the answer. When I was in Dubai, I saw some older women wearing a metal “veil” over their face which covered their nose and mouth. I’ve tried to google it and the name I’ve found for this is batoola or batulla. Can someone confirm that this is the correct name and explain what the purpose of the batulla is?

Here’s a picture:

i thought it was a picture from movie “the mummy”
