Moroccan Gandoura
The Moroccan Gandoura is a traditional garment that embodies elegance and simplicity. It generally consists of a long, loose dress that makes it very comfortable to wear, with a straight or slightly flared cut and three-quarter length sleeves.
The neckline is usually rounded or V-necked, adorned with passementerie (Sfifa) and four-thread trimmings made by hand or by digital embroiderers.
This thobe is deeply rooted in Moroccan culture and reflects the country's history and traditions. Thanks to its experienced craftsmen, Morocco has been able to preserve this authentic heritage and know-how while adapting to new fashions and trends over the years.
The Gandoura's unique style has been exported throughout the Muslim world. You'll find it mainly in the Maghreb and West Africa, with each region having its own specific characteristics.
Embroidery all over the torso, often tone-on-tone for the Tunisian Gandoura, bright colors for the Algerian Gandoura, and a much fuller cut for the Saharan Gandoura with patterned fabrics.
Each region has adapted this garment to its local customs, sometimes even changing its name. In West Africa, for example, this garment is known as the Moroccan Boubou or the Moroccan Abaya.
When can you wear Morroccan Thobes ?
The Gandoura is ideal for daily prayers at the mosque, as well as for Friday prayers (Joumou'a). Unlike the Saudi or Omani Qamis, the Gandoura is renowned for its loose, flowing cut, making it very comfortable to wear during the long Salat nights of Ramadan (Taraweh).
Along with the djellaba, it is one of the most popular outfits for Muslim religious holidays such as Aid al-Fitr and Aid al-Adha.
During the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages to Mecca, you'll find many pilgrims wearing Gandouras, for a number of reasons. First and foremost, they're simple and practical: they can be put on very quickly, they hide the 3aoura so you can pray while still being mestour, and they protect against the heat thanks to their supple fabric and wide cut. Jabador.com offers you Gandoura models in linen and Gabardine that will combine comfort and elegance during your trip.
In the Moroccan tradition the Jabador and the Djellaba are the most popular men's clothing for a religious wedding (Hlel) or a Khotba (Engagement), but a White or Off-White Gandoura worn with beautiful white slippers will also make a beautiful traditional outfit. for this event.
