Here in Riyadh, an abaya is worn and in select places, when asked by the Matawa (religious police), the hair must be covered. Other than that, on the compound, I can wear anything I like and out in town under the abaya, I can wear what I like. As far as footwear, you can wear shoes, sandals or boots. In some public places wear Westerners are you are allowed to remove the abaya such as some of the hotel restaurants, the bowling alley or horse races. I hope you have a great trip. I hear the shopping there is nice! Thanks for reading!

Even though I am presently unable to relocate there yet (at least through govt. even though I work VA), I still enjoy your perceptions of Saudi life.
