Like the full thing, with the top and the dark ring as well?

I prefer the 'all white look' to the 'all creamy-brown' or the 'white with the red/white top'

it's less than that I'm sure - a mate bought one and I'm sure he didn't pay much...

Karama also has shops with cheap Emirati clothing.

There's some other important considerations - what style of collar, whether you want the mini-skirt khandoora look favoured by the muttawa. What style of head-dress - shutra, Omani turban or baseball cap.

Don't forget the natty sandals and sunglasses. Consider getting your facial hair threaded into a groovy shape...

Oh, and post a pic when you're done.
