Fifi Abdo wears a man's galabeya (Egyptian for dishdash) in her act where she smokes the water pipe. She wears a man's hat, sort of a "pillbox" version of a fez. She wraps a man's neck scarf, very long and narrow, around her hips. This is what you are seeing in the photo. The women's version of the galabeya is pretty much the same pattern, but is often decorated with embroidery or a printed design around the neck, on the sleeve and bottom edges and often all over the front.
