Jockeys race along a beach during the annual beach horse races in Sanlucar de Barrameda near Cadiz on August 25, 2022.  - While originally the horse races on the beach of Sanlucar de Barrameda were informal competitions of horse owners who used them for fish transport from the old port to the local markets and nearby towns, the first official race organized by the Royal Horse Races Society of Sanlucar was celebrated on August 31, 1845.

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal 
  • Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
