Title	Burqa
Subject	Saudi Arabia Islam Islam -- Customs and practices Middle East -- Social life and customs Veils Headgear Clothing and dress Women in Islam
Description	In some parts of the Middle East, a Muslim woman covers her body with a black cloak called an abaya and a veil called a burqa. Usually a burqa is black and made of cotton or crepe. They come in various styles and lengths. There is a thin strip across the forehead, connected to a strip down the nose, while another piece forms a horizontal strip just below the nose. Some cover the entire face while others leave the eyes uncovered, like this one.
