The Hejazi turban (Arabic: عمامة) is a type of the Turban scarf headdress native to the region of Hejaz in modern-day Saudi Arabia. It is but one version of Arabian turbans, that have been worn in the Arabian Peninsula from the pre-Islamic era to the present day. Many Arab Historians claim that the Pre- and Post-Islamic Arabs of the Hijaz region such as the Quraish, Ansar, Qahtanites, Kindites, Nabateans, Qedarites, Adnanites, Himyarites, Lakhmids, Ghassanids, Arabian Jews etc. used to wear the Turban as opposed to the Shemagh which is popular today in the Arabian peninsula.
