Regarding head attire specifically, the etiquette at many Muslim holy sites requires that a headscarf-although it is not necessary and many if not most (men) do not wear it- or some other modest head covering be worn. For women, this might be a hijab and, for men, it might be a taqiyah (cap), turban, or keffiyeh.
The Muslim headwear for men typically consists of two portions. The first portion is the solid cap, known as a taqiyah. The second portion is the outer cloth wrap, known as an Imama (the turban). Some scholars instruct Muslim men to either wear both together, or none at all, as a way to distinguish Muslim men from non-Muslim men.
