Is it true? Can Women Use Bikini in Saudi Arabia?

Is it true that women can wear a bikini in Saudi Arabia now? Isn't the dress code for women so tight there? Yups it is true that the government of Saudi Arabia has allowed women to wear bikinis but only in certain places such as on the beach or in luxury resorts. Saudi Arabia's new policy allows female tourists to use bikini swimsuits actually in order to improve their tourism economy and not just rely on the oil sector as the country's only income.

Quoting from detik.com, Saudi Arabia is one of the countries that has very strict rules on women. They oblige a woman to wear clothes that cover nakedness and not cause male cruelty, besides that women there are also not allowed to drive their own cars, so if going out of the house must get permission from the husband and there must be a companion.

Referring to the special rules for dressing women, some time ago a beautiful girl was arrested by the Saudi security apparatus for being caught wearing tight mini skirts and prominent sexy short tops without wearing loose clothes like Abbaya on a rural history site in Ushayqir, Najd Province, 155km to the north of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

The new policy for women to wear a bikini on this beach comes from Prince Mohammad bin Salman who has announced a law on the rules of women wearing a bikini in Saudi Arabia. This law is applied in luxury resort projects that will be built on the beach in the Red Sea region.

The Crown Prince, successor to King Salman, revealed that he wanted his country, Saudi Arabia, not only to rely solely on oil export revenues. There must be an update to improve the economic welfare of Saudi Arabia, one of the solutions is through the tourist route. The first step to be taken is to build luxury resorts on the Red Sea in stages, starting in 2019 and expected to be completed in 2022.

Not playing with the government's plan to develop the tourist route. Because in addition to luxury resorts will also be equipped with other attractions so that local and foreign tourists can do fun outdoor activities such as rock climbing, parachuting, trekking and of course the luxurious facilities to relax the bikini women after they are off the beach to let go of fatigue at the luxury hotel where they stay.

And tourist attractions in Saudi Arabia that are worthy of other considerations such as the park of endangered leopards and eagles, visiting the ancient ruins of Mada’in Saleh, a site of UNESCO cultural heritage in the middle of Saudi Arabia.

Amazingly, foreign tourists do not need a visa if they want to visit Saudi Arabia to release their fatigue, just stay Lock N 'Load. Walahh ... the unique idea of Prince Mohammad bin Salman to open this tourism object seems inspired by the visit of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Bali Island yesterday.
