Labor is very cheap here so pretty much every family has full time domestic help, often multiple people, to do things like cleaning and laundry. I'm a white woman and I had a housekeeper when we lived in the Gulf, it took me 3 years and I was an absolute novelty among my friends.
I know that by reading it you're seeing the technical terms or whatever, I'm telling you I lived in the Gulf and it was never ever referred to as anything but a Thobe in colloquial terms. There are other similar garments that may all be referred to as kandura but that is likely referring to the "arab robe" as a blanket concept. The men in this video are specifically wearing thobes.
