Almost all djellabas of both styles (male or female) include a baggy hood called QOB (Arabic: قب) that comes to a point in the back. The hood is of vital importance to both sexes because it protects the user from the sun, and in ancient times was used as a means of defense against the sand being blown into the user's face by strong Desert winds.
