Saudis in western-style clothes?

Hi,

Males here in any age can wear anything, but women should wear abaya with hijab (scarf on her head) without niqab and if she is in free city she can go out without hijab

Hi Rana
Which one do you consider a "free city"...............?
Best regards

I think i have seen Saudi women in hijab in all the 3 major cities. Jeddah/Riyadh and Dammam. However things in smaller towns is very different. I think its more a matter of personal choice or family restrictions for them than the moral policing. Mind you, I have also seen Saudi lads being stopped for wearing very short shorts.

She might be saying free city as compared to one city to another, Like Jeddah is a free city as compared to Riyadh

I meant there is some free cities women can go out just wearing abaya without hijab like Jeddah and some areas in Riyadh and Dammam, but in the other cities she should wear hijab

I visit most of the kingdom, i saw many womens without hejab (but onley Abaya and covers the hair)>
