The agal (Arabic: عقال‎, ‘iqāl), also spelled iqal, egal or igal, is an accessory constructed of cord which is fastened around the Keffiyeh (an Arab headdress) to hold it in place. The agal is usually black in colour.

An agal is usually constructed of black cord wrapped tightly around a core of goat wool or bunched fabric.
