What is a kandora

The kandora is a traditional Arabic garment for men. It is made from 1 piece of fabric and therefore has no sewn-on sleeves. The kandora is very popular in Arab countries and has a very practical function, especially during hot days, namely cooling. In addition, it also has a covering function, which makes it very suitable for performing Islamic prayers. It has a very covering function when the man is in the kneeling position (Sujud).

Most kandoras are approximately above the male's ankle. The kandora should not be worn sharply on the ground. A kandora has no pockets on one or two sides, but an opening to access the trousers for personal care or to reach your trouser pockets. This is unknown to customers, so they quickly think of a manufacturing error.
