In 2002, football enthusiasts visiting Japan and South Korea for the World Cup became acquainted with the hand fans.
Eight years later, vuvuzelas were introduced to the world by South Africa.
This year, Qatari national Khalifa Al-Naimi is among those introducing football fans from around the world to a new spin on the ghutra, a traditional headscarf worn by men in the region, often held in place by a ugal, two cord loops that go around the head with tassels hanging down the back.
For the 2022 World Cup, Doha is abloom with ghutras done up in the colours of the 32 participating countries.
On most days, 26-year-old Naimi can be found at his Ghutra Mundo store tucked away in a corner of the Souq Waqif Metro Station in the capital Doha.
