The habbān (or hibbān[1]) is a type of bagpipe used in the coastal regions of the Persian Gulf (especially Bahrain and Kuwait).
The term is drawn from Hanbān (هنبان), the Persian word for "bag.".
[2] In Gulf states the term habban refers to the traditional Holi (inhabitants of the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf) bagpipe.
[3] The habbān is also called the jirbah (جربة).
While the term itself is generic, in Oman the term habban is used specifically for a nativized variant of the Great Highland bagpipe that has been incorporated into local music.
