An Iraqi man wearing a predominantly red keffiyeh, a traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square scarf, usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand.Photo credit: Christiaan Briggs
