Personally, I think these are great. They make me think of Bakar, the cute little Egyptian cartoon. Men in Muslim countries wear such hats in emulation of the Prophet Muhammad, however wearing head coverings is a tradition that predates Islam in Arabia - which seems natural, since it is so well-fitting to the geography in protecting the skull from the sun's strong rays, and keeping in body heat during the cold desert nights.

Bakar

Bakar is an adorable cartoon series that airs every Ramadan after the breakfast (i.e., break fast, when the sun sets). Each episode carries another moral lesson about virtue and the series displays fantastic scenes from the local rural life in Egypt.
