Absolutely likely.

Have you ever been to the Middle East?

They wrap and cover in the mideast because of the sandstorms. They continue the practice in other parts of the world. Sandstorms in downtown London are just horrible!

In a desert the nights are freezing cold and the days very hot with a lot of sun. Historically Arabs are fair skinned and suffer from sun exposure. Coloring the cloth dark reduces glare. Also prevents immediate personal identification which is good the Arab way of war: insurgent type lowlevel conflict.

OP, I can tell you that one reason for men wearing a head cloth is to keep the moisture from evaporating.
M/E is hot. science suggests that up to 80% of moisture is lost through the head.
Have you noticed the Chinese and all other far-east nations wear straw hats? It is for exactly the same reason. Add this together with dust and sandstorms and it makes perfect sense as to the practice.
Did you know that camels have two eye-lids? They close one when there is sandstorm around but they can still see through the eyelid.
All M/E head gear is made from cotton to allow for circulation of air. Never ever artificial materials are used. The cotton is also very very thin. Because of its thinness they wrap it many times over the head and thus creating layer upon layer of air and cloth. Insulation as well as air-conditioning. Its a bit like birds fluffing themselves up with feathers. The thiness of the cloth will also allow them to cover their eyes and nose as a way of protection from sand blowing but still being able to see through. A copy from nature (camel).
Before anyone starts to make jokes think about eskimos and other nations copying nature and using skins of buffolos to wrap themselves to keep warm.
Yes... times have changed and today we have sun-glasses and hats etc. But know that all traditional dresses come out of similar reasons and tend to stay as tradition even with new modern technology around.
It works for every single nation.
I got to go now but may be i come back to explain about the women too. People who live in the West mock and laugh but there is a far far more logical and scientific reasons behind these acts that have nothing to do with religion or sex. Colours of black and white have the perfect answer for M/E
peace
