The habbān is a type of bagpipe used in the southern coast of Persian Gulf. The term ḥabbān is one of several Arabic terms for the bagpipes. The term may be drawn from Hanbān, the Persian word for "bag.". In Gulf states the term habban refers to the traditional Holi bagpipe The habbān is also called the jirbah.
While the term itself is generic, in Oman the habban is more specifically a variant of the Great Highland bagpipe which has been incorporated into local music.
