An izaar, also izar or ʾizār (), also known as maʿawaz (), futah (), wizar (), maqtab () is a traditional lower garment that is frequently used by men in Oman, Somaliland, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Yemenis commonly wear izzars at home and work. It is also used by some in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the Horn of Africa (Djibouti and Eritrea). A white izaar is typically worn underneath thawbs in Oman and the UAE instead of sirwal sunnah.
