after arriving in Morocco. According to the many people we have met who have
professed to be experts in many areas, there are three basic types of djellaba for
men and two basic everyday options for women. The djellaba covers the whole
body and is therefore an acceptable modest outfit.

sleeves. This Gandora has strong embroidery on the neck and sleeve openings,
a pocket on one side and a slit on the other. Like the Djellaba the Gandora is a
very traditional Moroccan garment. . For a convenient use, this garment has
one slit on side and one pocket on the other side at the waist level. This gandora
is made with cotton and is more suitable for summer use.
