| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
it was on the beach at jubail
im not that lucky to capture a beautiful sky
that is the reason why i convert the photo
to sepia, the sky was really boring.
for me saudi has the most boring beaches
in the world, you seldom see a family enjoying the
beach because saudi is not open country and the
women here are not allowed to go out their houses without wearing abaya.
The abaya (Arabic عباءة, plural abayat عباءات) is an overgarment worn by some women in parts of the Islamic world. It is the traditional form of hijab, or Islamic dress, for many countries of the Arabian peninsula such as the United Arab Emirates, where it is the national dress.
Traditional abayat are black, and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head, or a long caftan. The abaya covers the whole body except the face, feet, and hands. It can be worn with the niqab, a face veil covering all but the eyes. Some women choose to wear long black gloves, so their hands are covered as well.
Saudi Arabia requires women to cover in public. Covering is enforced by the religious police, the mutaween (also known as the 'mutawa'). In Iran the cover is often referred to as a chador. Some Muslim women living in the West also cover themselves as part of their religion and culture. Due to the difficulty of finding stores nearby, Muslim women in the United States usually buy Islamic clothing online.[citation needed]
Abayat are known by various names but serve the same purpose, which is to cover up. Contemporary models are usually caftans, cut from light, flowing fabrics like crape, georgette, and chiffon. Styles differ from region to region: some abayat have embroidery on black material while others are brightly coloured and have different forms of artwork across them.[1] |
