Car Rent in Khamis Mushait

Saudi Arabia is a peculiar country. It was closed to tourists until recently. The crown Prince started taking steps to develop tourism, building hotels on the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf a few years ago. Access to the country is still quite difficult. A visa is required to enter the country. It is forbidden to travel alone, especially for women. Only Muslims can visit Mecca and Medina.

Religion is not separate from the state. Sharia law takes precedence over secular laws. There's religious police here. Even a Prince can be punished by it. The law does not require women to be in closed clothing, with their head covered, and their faces covered outside the home. But the religious police strictly enforce this rule and severely punish those who are guilty. Previously, the Abaya (closed garment) could only be black. It was also necessary to cover the face and the eyes. Abayas with embroidery and different colors have appeared in recent years. But they are still not widespread. Many women leave their eyes open. Tourists do not have to wear an Abaya. But their clothing should be closed and their head covered. Clothing should not be transparent and emphasize the silhouette. Traditional dress, shirt or trousers, or fashionable modern designer clothing can be under the Abaya.
