The Galabeya (Arabic: الجلابية) is a tunic worn by Egyptian men and women (usually in a rural area). The Galabeya is the tradional garment of Egypt and men usually wear it with a Lasa, a silk scarf worn around the shoulders. The Galabeya is similar to the Abaya, a more decorative tunic that would be worn for more formal or festive occasions[1]. The tunya (or tunic), is a garment similar to the Galabeya worn by monks, priests and bishops of the Coptic Church during liturgy prayers. The tunya is worn by clergy members over the galabeya.
