Moroccans wear hooded robes, djellaba - they are surprisingly heavy and are designed not only for warmth on cold nights but to keep one cool in the heat of the day. The heavy dark material deflects the sun, apparently.
Kaftans are worn by men and women, and can be plain and simple or extremely intricate and rich.
The backless sandals worn by men and women are called baboosh.
The pipe is called 'sebsi' and is used for smoking cannabis (kief) - an individual long thin pipe.
Moroccans also have the hookah pipe.

I'm not sure of the origin of the word "hookah", meaning the water-filtered pipe that most of us associate with North Africa and the Middle East; in all the North African & Middle Eastern countries I've been to it's called a "sheesha" or a "narghila" (spelling may vary because it's a transliteration into the Latin alphabet).
