It is traditionally of the same function as other Omani dress, consisting of a tunic dress and sarwal pants, but the way that these items are embellished is distinct to the region. While other Omani regions typically embellish the bottom of the tunic and its chest, this region only embellished the garment on the wrists and on the bottom hem of the Sirwal.
