What is a mukhawar?
Women's clothing in the Gulf.

A born dress
in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.

The mukhawar is a long, buttoned dress worn by women in Gulf countries — in the Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. It has a loose fit, long sleeves, and is ankle-length. It is an indoor garment, designed for moving freely and elegantly at home.

Unlike the black abaya worn outdoors, the mukhawar is home attire: what you put on to receive family, to spend a nice day at home, to feel feminine even behind a closed door. It's a garment for living, not for show.

Of silk,
Not polyester.

Authentic mukhawar is crafted from luxurious fabrics—silk, satin, lightweight chiffon. The choice of material is not insignificant: it determines the drape, the feel on the skin, and how the dress moves as you walk. A good mukhawar should be comfortable to wear from morning to night.

The mukhawar we source in the Emirates are crafted with care: delicate embroidery on the cuffs and collar, mother-of-pearl buttons, and fabrics that drape beautifully without feeling heavy. Every detail is designed to ensure the garment lives up to the daily life it accompanies.

For everyone,
at any time.

The mukhawar is not just for Gulf women—it's for any woman who wants to feel comfortable and elegant at home. Its long, loose cut flatters all body types. It can be worn alone over leggings, or simply on the skin on hot days.

To welcome family without having to change. To spend a beautiful day at home. To feel like yourself, comfortably dressed, effortlessly. The mukhawar asks for nothing—it just gives.

Sourced in the UAE,
delivered in France.

At Amiraati, we select each mukhawar directly from the United Arab Emirates. No middlemen, no products manufactured on the other side of the world to imitate something authentic. What you receive is exactly what women in the Gulf wear at home.

We hand-pick our pieces, focusing on fabric quality, embroidery finish, and precise cut. Because a dress that will last for years deserves this attention.

Each collection is available in limited quantities—this ensures that each piece lives up to what we promise you. No endless restocks, no permanent sales. Just carefully selected dresses, available while supplies last.
