The tarboosh, also known as the fez, is a traditional felt headdress in the shape of a short, cylindrical, brimless hat, typically red with a black tassel on top. Historically significant in the political and religious spheres of the eastern Mediterranean, the tarboosh has endured through the centuries. Although its everyday use has diminished over time, the craft of tarboosh making is still alive and well preserved in Cairo, Egypt. Local artisans continue to produce the deep red tarboosh for clergy, while also offering colorful variations as unique souvenirs for tourists.
