@Sehrysh

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:

TIA

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

on the second thoughts i think it is better than shuttle cock burqa. atleast women can breath easy and is still recoganizable. good luck going through airports though.

Its mostly called Burqa (Pronounced Burga) in the UAE, Batulah/Batoola is more Qatari.

The purpose was basically a veil that also shows the status of the wearer. For example, younger girls wear a more 'flashy' Burga and as they age, it becomes understated. Also, it is designed as such to emphasize the eyes of the wearer.

Either way its a cultural tradition they love. And all you vying to free them of this evil are ignorant. Stop judging you fools.
