Julie of Arabia

WOW! My friend Julie is in Saudi Arabia right now. Visit her blog.

All female tourists are required to dress according to Saudi tradition: covered from head to toe with only their face, hands and feet exposed. Julie is in the most conservative city, the capital Riyadh, where women must wear a black robe over their clothes.

If tourists choose to travel during the holy month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, they will not be allowed to eat or drink in public during fasting hours.
