The Hejazi turban (Arabic: العِمامة الحِجازيّة, ʾimāmah IPA: ʕi.maː.mah), also spelled Hijazi turban, is a type of the turban headdress native to the region of Hejaz in modern-day western 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. Islamic Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula region such as the Quraysh, Ansar, Qahtanites, Kindites, Nabataeans, Qedarites, Adnanites, Himyarites, Lakhmids, Ghassanids, and others used to wear the turban alongside the Keffiyeh which is also popular today in the rest of the Arabian Peninsula.[1]
By the Islamic era, the Hejazi turban became less common in the region and was replaced by the imama. Centuries after that, the imama was replaced by the Ghutrah / Shemagh.
