I'll take the upside down one in the top right corner. Yup, I think I will look just fine in it. What an interesting array of caps. Certainly nothing that we would see over here. The more I see of your pictures Michael, the more I would like to come and visit.

@Marion: Thanks, Marion. Bahrain would certainly be a good start. It's small, manageable and friendly with some interesting archeological sites. Best seen from November to April. Far too hot the rest of the year.
@beanow: Thank you, Beanow.

I suppose these caps are used at the time of offering prayers rather than for keeping the head warm or for style :) lovely shot!
