Izaars are commonly used in Yemen, it is commonly referred to as maʿawaz (مَعَوَز) and the Hadhrami people call it ṣārūn (صارون) in their local dialect. It is also used by some in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Ethiopia and Eritrea). A white izaar is typically worn underneath thawbs in Oman and the UAE instead of sirwar pyjamas. Izzars are similar to lungis and sarongs, worn in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and countries in some parts of East Africa.
