In the modest arab world countries, it is completley the opposite - if you enter a building such as a house as a stranger unannounced, and the lady or ladies of the house have their face uncovered - they will lift up their robes to cover their face - regardless of what they show underneath - often nothing re panties or bra. For this reason the men clap their hands when entering with a stranger to warn the women to either cover up or get out of the way.
