Gandoura

A French Spahi uniform c. 1960 consisting of a khaki gandoura and seroual, both under a white burnous.

The Gandoura, also Gandura, is a kind of light tunic, in wool or cotton, with or without sleeves. It normally comes in colored stripes, or more simply white, and is worn primarily in the Middle East, North Africa and West Africa, where it is known by the misnomer djellaba or jalabiya. The term gandoura is Berber in origin.^[1]
