5. The Abaya\u00a0<\/h3>\n

An abaya is a long, usually black, gown worn over your clothes, traditionally to cover a woman’s form from the\u00a0public, according to Arabian culture .

Women, this is a souvenir that you can never go wrong with – wearable for a gala or even a lazy day out to the mall.<\/p>\n
