Fellah

Fellahin children harvesting crops in Egypt A fellah ( ; feminine ; plural ''fellaheen'' or ''fellahin'', , ) is a peasant, usually a farmer or agricultural laborer in the Middle East and North Africa. The word derives from the Arabic word for "ploughman" or "tiller".

Due to a continuity in beliefs and lifestyle with that of the Ancient Egyptians, the fellahin of Egypt have been described as the "true Egyptians".

A fellah could be seen wearing a simple Egyptian cotton robe called ''galabieh'' (''jellabiya''). The word ''galabieh'' originated around 1715–1725 and derived from the Egyptian slang word ''gallabīyah''. Provided by Wikipedia
