Discover fashion that honors faith and femininity — where elegance meets devotion in every abaya, kaftan, and jalabiya on MahaAbaya. The jalabiya is a traditional Middle Eastern garment known for its loose-fitting, flowing silhouette and its enduring cultural significance, particularly among women in the Gulf, North Africa, and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Its origins can be traced back centuries to ancient Egypt, Persia, and Bedouin cultures, where practicality and modesty shaped its early design. The word “jalabiya” itself comes from the Arabic “jalab,” meaning “to bring” or “to wear,” highlighting its role as a garment essential for daily life and special occasions alike.
