A galabeya is the traditional garment of men in Egypt and is still worn by most men there now. However, it is not ancient. The ancient Egyptians wore a variety of clothing pieces. Which one did you have in mind? For example, one type of kilt was called a Shendit (i pronounced like ee). I can't think of any other terms off the top of my head. They had several words for different types of cloth as well.

if by calibea you mean "gallabeya" then it's not ancient.. it's just the traditional clothing for Egyptian peasants:
white or simple-coloured long baggy gowns with sleeves for men and more colourful and cheery for women- with drawn flowers on it, makes it more colourful..
They still do wear it in some parts around Egypt, best outfit for a peasant man/ woman cz it's the comfiest and easiest.
But if you mean Ancient Egyptian clothings, then I have no idea about what they were called [I'm Egyptian and have studied ancient Egyptian history ofcoarse yet never knew that they did actually call the outfit a name] but "Obsolete Allurment" gave you a good link there, very informative.

I am Egyptian but I don't really know what they used to call it .
I know one thing that what you refer to as Calabea , is actually what we call as Galabyea and it is somthing that we still wear and not ancient.
It is a long gown for men . with sleeves .
