Here's a really stupid one
By Tigasin321 •
Okay, I admit that I am a little weird and that this is a stupid topic but any help/info would be much appreciated. I recently bought a Kaffiyeh or a gutra (you know, one of those Arab headress things). I really like it, its great protection from the sun and dust. I don't have the black rope thing to go around it, I just tie it around my head.
Now here's the stupid question, I have noticed that there are lots of different ways of tying the gutra. I have spent some time trawling the internet looking for diagrams and instructions (sad, I know) but haven't been able to find any. Anyone able to help?
that was the ninja wrap .. lol
thnx for the link ...
If it is ok with you man, we can get like you said an indoor place and we would be playing there for 1 hour, less or more as you want guys and I'm ready to start the training course. All who want to join also can participate, what do you think? The training would be a mixture of light jogging, stretching and abdominal exercises. What do you think? Sounds good? I'm not expert but don't worry about it :)

Have you tried youtube and videojug?
What about the three of doing some indoor treadmill running. We could make it a regular fixture twice a week. I can't do it this week though as my lovely friend Sticky Nicki is coming all the way from England to visit me. How about next week?
I am worried about my belly too!

and it was the only time that we jog .. after that i was so lazy to do it again ..
That day we never met each other. I was waiting at the beginning of the Corniche near the shell, Amr and the other guys were eating sandwiches near the Sheraton Tea shop :D
Maybe you can run at dawn or late in the evening, running in the afternoon is not an option. I enjoyed running while everyone else can't :) . When humidity hits the country, then it is the best time for me to start running again.
Will do but isn't it a little hot for jogging? I went for a run on Saturday and nearly died after 10 mins. How are you and Amr doing on the running front? Sorry to have been such a baby and wimping out on it.

Good morning friend and how was your morning? It is ok and there is nothing wrong with that. Next time we go to the jogging course, bring it with you and I will show you how to wrap it in different ways. The Palestinian way, UAE way and maybe Yemeni way too :D
Just bring it and we would try to figure out together how to make this work :)
Best Regards
but I don't have 3egal. I am trying to wear it the Afghan way. You know, the cool wrappping and tying. I just can't get it right. I have asked my Egyptian and Palestinian friends in the office but they are too cool to wear this type of headgear and they don't know how to do it.

u can wrap it around ur head and eyes .. but don't make any accidents ... hehehhe .. that's so funny .. is it that difficult
listen dude .. the gutra is a square piece of cloth .. right?
1- Make it a triangle ..by getting the top left edge on the bottom right edge .. fold it ..
2- put it on ur head where the pointed piece is pointing at ur ass (sorry dude that's to explain) lol
3- Put the 3egal (black rope) on ur head to fix it
4- fold the edges around the 3egal on the 3egal ..
hope u can understand me i cannot explain it well but try ur best
look at the qatari men and see how it's folded .. or try to ask a qatari felow
that it's OK with you..I mean my comment.
Just to make sure coz, lately I really don't understand what's been happening to QL people here. Like some posted a topic then later some commented on it..then the last thing I know it became an argument.Wheew!
Well, as for the gutra...I really can't help you with that...hmmm...but as for me, I'd rather use bandana.:))
(then I look like more hippy).
How could I be offended when I wrote such a stupid post? I am really interested though as some of them are tied really nicely. I just want to know how to do it.

you bought it for protection from sun eh??
Well, just wrapped it around your head I guess, in a way that it'll not be blown by the wind:))
(sorry, hope you're not offended by that).
Be well!
