Their clothing reflects the rich ethnic heritage of Algeria, showcasing an array of stunning details that symbolize tradition and history. The man's ensemble is complete with a turban atop his head and a meticulously crafted headdress that exudes both civilian and military influences. His attention to detail extends to his accessories; from his belt to his boots, every element speaks volumes about his commitment to authenticity.
