Wa Aleikum Salaam.
It looks like the Sheikh is wearing a taqiyah/kufi on his head and has a white shemagh/keffiyeh over it.

Bin Baz said: 'And indeed some Mushrikun claimed that their intention from worshipping the Prophets and the pious people, and from taking idols as lords beside Allah (swt), was to bring them near to Allah (swt) and gain the intercession through them to Allah (swt), Praise and Glory be to Him. But Allah (swt) rejected that and refuted it by saying: "And they worship besides Allah (swt) things that hurt them not, nor profit them, and they say `these are our intercessors with Allah (swt)'. Say `Do you inform Allah (swt) of that which he knows not in the Heavens and on the Earth?' Glorified and Exalted be He above all that which they associate as partners with Him!"

Re: headwear Saudi men wear shemagh (i guess) bounded with AGAL (or Rope, whatever). I can´t see any AGAL on the picture. So I was thinking if this kind of headwear is anyhow special/extraordinary. Originally Posted by Ibn Ibrahim

Re: headwear As salam alaikum
To be more specific, the elder gentleman is wearing a 'ghutra'- white head dress. Here in the Khaleej, I have personally only seen ulama, imma, and pious elder men wear ghutra without agal. However, it is possible that in a formal setting, such as business, meeting local dignitaries, etc, he might wear the ghutra with agal.
Ghutra with agal and dishdasha is recognized as formal national dress and is worn at work, political events, formal occasions, eid, salatul jumuah, weddings, etc.
Informal dress includes hamdani, or turbans. Young men tend to wear hamdani in informal settings. Rarely do I see elder men wear hamdani. This variation in the photo may be instead of hamdani in informal setting.
[Incidently, in 2011 govt officials required that expats wear their own national dresses while obtaining resident visas. This was abandoned when it was recognized that most countries do not have formal national dresses. However, I have since discovered some informal national dresses:
America's national dress: khaki colored pants, button down oxford shirt that is light blue, usually long sleeved. This is American national dress.
Filipino national dress: thong slippers, knee length shorts, and t shirt, sometimes sleeveless tshirt.
Indian national dress: what is Shah ru Khan wearing today?

Weird how the turban is not formal dress in medina/mekkah. I wonder when the shift happened from turban to shemag
