Football fans buy "Bisht" the traditional Arab cloak at a market in Doha, Qatar on December 21, 2022. Qatar’s emir placed a black and gold cloak over the shoulders of Argentina’s victorious captain Lionel Messi. A bisht, also known as an aba or abaya in other Arab countries, is a garment symbolic of prestige, honour and stature. The Al-Salem store, a longstanding bisht supplier to Qatari royalty, normally sells eight to 10 garments a day, on Monday, sales shot up to 150, including three copies of the top-of-the-range bisht made famous by Messi.
