For quality Veils (Niqab) and Scarves (Tarha), Saudi Arabia is the world leader.
Top Brands

- Quality: Incredible durability. Their blacks stay black.
- Price: High (50-100 SAR per piece).
- Sharqia: Known for soft, breathable fabrics.
- Location: Most malls (Makkah Mall, Taiba Center in Madinah).
Types of Niqab
- One Layer: Lightest, good for eyes, but can slightly show outline in direct sun.
- Two/Three Layers: Total coverage, heavy.
- Cardboard Stiffener: Keeps the cloth away from eyes/lashes. Highly recommended for comfort.
Fabric Tip
Ask for "Laser" fabric (for Hijabs) or "Chiffon Korean". They don't slip and breathe well.
