We are a family business that truly cares about quality and our customers. Every shawl in our store is checked carefully to make sure you get the best.

An Arabic shawl is a traditional piece of clothing that men wear over their shoulders or around their head. Some people call it a shemagh or ghutra depending on the style and region. It is made from soft fabric that keeps you comfortable in our hot weather. The shawl has been part of Arab culture for hundreds of years. Our grandfathers wore it, our fathers wear it, and now we wear it too. It never goes out of style! The best part? It makes you look respectful and elegant whether you are going to a wedding, a business meeting, or just having coffee with friends.
There are many good reasons why shawls are so popular in our culture. First, they protect you from the strong sun during the day. Abu Dhabi can get really hot, and a good shawl keeps the sun off your head and neck. Second, they keep you warm during cool evenings in the desert. Yes, the desert gets cold at night! Third, shawls are part of our heritage and tradition. When you wear one, you show respect for our culture and values. And honestly, they just look great. A well-worn shawl can make any outfit look complete and dignified.
At Shabab Al Yola, we have many types of shawls for different occasions and personal styles. Here is what makes each type special:
These are classic and clean looking. Perfect for formal events, religious occasions, and important meetings. White shawls never go out of fashion and they match with everything.
These are very popular in the Gulf region. The red and white pattern is bold and traditional. Great for everyday wear and casual gatherings.
These have a more serious and elegant look. Many businessmen prefer this style for professional settings.
We also have shawls in different solid colors for those who like a modern twist on traditional style.
When you touch our shawls at Shabab Al Yola, you will immediately feel the difference. We only stock shawls made from high quality cotton and soft blended fabrics. The fabric is smooth against your skin and does not irritate even if you wear it all day long. Our shawls are also very breathable. This means air can pass through the fabric easily, keeping you cool and comfortable. Some cheap shawls make you sweat and feel uncomfortable, but not ours. We test every piece ourselves before putting it on our shelves. If we would not wear it ourselves, we will not sell it to you. That is our promise.
Wearing a shawl might look simple, but there are many ways to do it right. The most common way is to fold it into a triangle and drape it over your head with the fold across your forehead. Then you can use an agal (the black rope) to keep it in place. Some men prefer to wear it loose over their shoulders for a more relaxed look. Others like to wrap it around their neck when it is chilly. The good news is there is no single correct way. You can wear it however feels comfortable and looks good to you.
And if you are new to wearing shawls, do not worry! Our staff at Shabab Al Yola will happily show you different styles and help you find what works best for you. We might even share a laugh or two while we practice. Nobody got it perfect on their first try, not even us!
A good shawl can last you for years if you take care of it properly. Washing is easy. Just use gentle detergent and cool water. Avoid hot water because it can damage the fabric and make colors fade. You can wash it by hand or use the gentle cycle in your washing machine. After washing, let it air dry naturally. Do not put it in the dryer because the heat can shrink the fabric. For storage, fold your shawl neatly and keep it in a clean, dry place. Some people like to iron their shawls to keep them crisp and fresh looking. If you do iron, use a medium heat setting. With proper care, your Shabab Al Yola shawl will stay soft and beautiful for a very long time.

This depends on how often you wear it and how much you sweat. Some people wash their shawl after every wear, especially the white ones to keep them bright and fresh. Others wash after two or three wears. Use your judgment. If it looks dirty or smells, it is time for a wash!
Yes we do! At Shabab Al Yola, we sell everything you need for the complete traditional look. We have agals in different styles and qualities. Some are simple and practical, others are more decorative. Just ask our team and we will show you our collection.
The main difference is in the fabric quality and how long it lasts. Cheap shawls are often made from rough fabric that feels uncomfortable and loses its shape after a few washes. They might also fade quickly or tear easily. Our quality shawls at Shabab Al Yola use better fabric that stays soft, keeps its color, and lasts for years. In the long run, buying quality saves you money because you do not need to replace it often.
Absolutely! In fact, shawls are perfect for summer. They protect your head and neck from the hot sun and the light fabric allows air to flow, keeping you cooler than if you had nothing on your head. People have been wearing shawls in the desert heat for centuries because they work!
