Perhaps most people’s first impression of Saudi Arabia is that they are rich and rich everywhere. For example, it is rumored online that men in Arab countries have four wives, or that women cannot go out alone here, and there are even news that rich people give money directly when they see the poor?

In the Arab world, Saudi Arabia is well deserved no.1. Look at the map and you will know that Saudi Arabia is far from comparable to the small countries around it. Although there is no river in the entire Saudi Arabia, 95% of its land area is desert, but seawater desalination technology is the world's number one, so there is no need to worry about how to live in a desert area, such a poor country needs anxiety.

Free medical care for all people and free education for all people. No tax is required for residents or foreigners. Personal income tax and business tax are exempted.

Free highways nationwide, free foreign exchange exchange, and the state subsidizes enterprises to basic foods (so it can be so cheap, 1,000ml of whole milk is only RMB 7.4, and a bag of 5 large pies is RMB 1.85…

One of the few countries in the world that have always insisted on public execution of the death penalty. In the square of Riyadh, an executioner once had a public beheading. The death penalty was generally openly beheading or hanging. The Shariah law is executed here. Thieves are caught and chopped their hands, and drinking alcohol is whipped. Adultery will be stones. Homosexuality and drug trafficking are undiscussed death sentences, and of course, the more serious is apostasy.

There are almost no entertainment facilities here, and there are no cinemas, no kTVs, and no bars in the country. So the national entertainment here is shopping. The supermarket is on the first floor of the mall. After buying things, you can push the shopping cart to walk around the entire mall. If you want to go shopping, shop, eat, and accompany your children to play in the amusement park.

Although there is no cinema, the magic is that everyone watches American blockbusters and Korean Oppa online, and the legend of chasing the blue sea is no later than in China.

The men that girls can come into contact with since childhood are basically limited to their fathers, their biological brothers and younger brothers, their husbands and father-in-laws after marriage. Only in front of these people do not need to wear a headscarf and a veil. If they are cousin and cousin, they also need to wear a headscarf and a veil. They have been a boys' school since childhood, and all the classmates are the same-sex, and basically have no chance to meet strange men.

Even if you are 18 years old, because you are a woman, you must have a guardian. Generally speaking, it is a father or husband, but if you all die, your son can do it too?

The role of guardians is too great. When preparing to get married, they need the consent of the guardian; if they want to rent a house, they need the consent of the guardian; if they look for a job, the guardian must sign; if they go to the hospital, the guardian must accompany them; it was not until 2014 that Saudi Arabia abolished the provision that women should go abroad and the government will notify their guardians.

Women can go out alone. On the street, many women are shopping in shopping malls alone. They just can’t drive by themselves and don’t have buses. So many times they come out with their fathers and husbands for convenience and are not prohibited from going out alone.

The biggest impression is that they wear black robe, but there will be many differences in the doctrines of different countries in black robe, headscarf, and veil. Saudi Arabia considers itself the most devout *** in the world, so there are almost no colors other than black for local Saudi women to wear, the style of the robe, the length of the hues, and the degree to which the veil covers the face are basically the strictest.

A burqa that is wrapped from head to feet is not accurate to use wrapping, because the robe is very wide and the sleeves are like bat sleeves. People can completely retract their arms and tidy up the clothes inside. The robe does not cover the feet but covers the entire foot. A little will grow out from behind. When walking, they will drag on the ground. Don’t ask if you will trip if you walk like this. You also admire them very much!

Even the turban has several deformations. The simplest one is that the eyes are exposed in the picture. The upgraded version has a line in the middle of the bridge of the nose, which is used to connect the upper and lower cloth pieces. The highest level is that the eyes are covered with black veil. It looks like a ball of black for outsiders. Those who are actually wearing them can still see the outside world if they are careful.

I once thought the robe was a long loose black dress, the headscarf was a black rectangular scarf, and the veil was something like a triangle scarf, just around the bridge of the nose and tied to the back of the head.

So I also wondered if the windbreaker and headscarf would blow away?

What if the veil is pulled off by someone?

It turns out that I am thinking too much. This outfit has been popular for thousands of years, okay? What else have they never encountered?

Because their robes are A-shaped, similar to a huge A-line skirt, which spreads outward from below the shoulders, not only does not have a waist curve, but also can basically submerge the chest curve. The robes are generally very long, not only covering the foot, but also dragging the back to the ground.

I heard that stricter families will require women to wear longer socks, so that no matter how much they sit down, the ankles in the robe will not be exposed.

I was curious and asked the tour guide to demonstrate, and first use the small turban on the left to start wrapping the head. Although it is a small turban, it is actually as big as the sunscreen scarf we usually use in summer.

The turban is spread over the top of the head, covering half of the forehead at the edge, and along the temple to the jaw angle to the chin and then to the temple on the other side, wrap it around in a circle, and the grown part goes over the top of the head and droops next to the face. Then use a few pins to fix it from the scarf in the temple, and the crossing of the top of the head. Just tidy up, and the small turban inside is just fine.

The domestic *** is basically just about being able to cover this level, but more than half of Saudi women will wear veils again.

The veil is a piece of cloth that looks like an apron, leaving a seam for the eyes in the middle. The cloth strip on the seam is pressed on the forehead where the veil was wrapped in the head, adjust the position of the eyes, and tie the straps to the back of the head. Because the position is tied high, if the veil is pulled from under the veil, at most the cloth under the eyes slides down a little, and it is impossible to pull the entire veil off.

Some people wear veils on the outside of the veil, but many people also need to add a larger shawl in addition to the veil. Compared to wrapping veils and veils, this is simple. Just drap it directly on your head and use a pin to fix the shawl and veil on the top of your head.

Awesome than a ninja!

When we eat and drink water, we do not keep staring at the food and deliver it to our mouths, but because it is not blocked, we can see some of the food in the end. But if we wear a veil, we will not be able to see where the food is when it is delivered to the veil-covered area!

Especially when you don’t just hold the food directly into your mouth, such as bread, you have to grab the food with tools, such as forks with lamb. So how do you feel where the mutton part under the veil goes?

Drinking soup is a big problem. First of all, it is impossible to put the entire bowl under the veil. Although the veil is large, it must be able to cover the entire bowl. When tilting the bowl, you cannot expose your chin when drinking the soup. You must also be careful not to let the fabric between the nose and mouth of the veil invade the soup. This technical difficulty is too high.

There are signs pointing toward Mecca everywhere, and the corridors and rooms of the hotel are marked in prominent locations.

It is said that all those who have the conditions to arrive at the mosque should go to the mosque for five prayers. But obviously this condition is difficult to achieve, so you can often see people taking out a small blanket on the streets, offices, and corners of shops, kneeling down in front of Mecca to pray. I have participated in the prayers in the mosque twice, one for the afternoon gift and the other for the evening gift.

When praying, the girls consciously line up in neat rows. The imam will issue various instructions, following the instructions, praise, bow, stand up, kneel, kowtow, recite scriptures, then stand up, praise, bow, stand up, kneel, kowtow, recite scriptures, then sit up, recite scriptures, then kneel, kowtow, recite scriptures, and then sit upright on your feet, first praise on the right and then on the left.
