YEARS ago I picked up the very first FOUR Khaleejesque quarterlies and have been an addict ever since… I recall the themes were something like: travel,cuisine, fashion and business. I read in one of them a GREAT piece on the Khaleeji dress codes across the GCC – for men and women. I YEARN to read this article again!! Please please can I see the spread again or a pdf as I am doing a Christmas letter home to my young neices and nephews on their Auntie's life in the Gulf and yes, you guessed it, as their seasonal gifts I bought all the boys a dishdasha, agal and guttrah and for the two girls a dara'a and blinged up abaya. I just need to explain to them the ways to wear them Khaleeji style!
Thanks!!!
