The habbān (or hibbān

bagpipe used in the coastal regions of the Persian Gulf (especially Bahrain and Kuwait). The term ḥabbān (هبان) is one of several Arabic terms for the bagpipes. 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).[4] It is similar to the Ney-anbān and jirba
.

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.[5]
