Maybe most people's first impression of Saudi Arabia is that it is rich, and there are local tyrants everywhere, such as rumors on the Internet that men in Arab countries marry 4 wives, or women here can't go out alone, and there is even news that rich people give money directly when they see the poor?

In the Arab world, Saudi Arabia is a well-deserved No. 1 in terms of land area, oil reserves, and royal size. Look at the map, the area of Saudi Arabia is far from comparable to the sum of several small countries around it, although there is no river in the whole of Saudi Arabia, 95% of the land area is desert, but the desalination technology is the first in the world, so there is no need to worry about how to live in the desert area, this poor country needs to be anxious.

Free medical care for all, free education for all, no matter whether residents or foreigners, there is no need to pay taxes, personal income tax and business tax are all exempted.

The national highway is free, foreign exchange is freely convertible, and the state subsidizes basic food for enterprises (so it can be so cheap, 1000ml whole milk is only 7.4 yuan, and a bag of 5 flatbreads is 1.85 yuan...

One of the few countries in the world that has consistently insisted on public executions has had executioners publicly beheaded in Riyadh's square. The death penalty is generally public beheading or hanging. The Shari'a law is enforced here, where thieves are caught with their hands cut off, drinking alcohol is punishable by whipping, adultery is punishable by stoning, homosexuality and drug trafficking are non-negotiable capital offenses, and of course apostasy is more serious.

There are almost no entertainment facilities here, there are no cinemas, no kTV, no bars in the country. So the national pastime here is shopping. The supermarket is on the first floor of the mall, and you can push the shopping cart to walk around the mall after shopping, and you can go to the store and visit the store, want to eat, and accompany the children to the playground to play.

Although there are no movie theaters, the amazing thing is that everyone watches American blockbusters and Korean Oba online, and the legend of catching up on the blue sea is not later than in China.

The men that girls can come into contact with since childhood are basically limited to their fathers, biological brothers and brothers, and after marriage, they are husbands and fathers-in-law. Only in front of these people, they don't need to wrap headscarves and veils, if it's cousins and cousins, they also need to wrap headscarves and veils, since they were children, they are boys' schools and girls' schools, all classmates are of the same sex, and there is basically no chance to meet strange men.

Even if you are an adult at the age of 18, because you are a woman, you must also have a guardian. Generally speaking, it's a father or husband, but if they all die, can a son do it?

The role of the guardian has become greater, and the consent of the guardian is required to get married, the consent of the guardian is required to rent a house, the guardian must sign, and the guardian must accompany the person when he goes to the hospital, and it was not until 2014 that Saudi Arabia abolished the rule that if a woman wants to go abroad, the government will notify her guardian.

Women can go out alone, and many women are found shopping alone in shopping malls on the streets, they just can't drive by themselves, and there are no buses, so many times they go out with their fathers and husbands for convenience, and they are not forbidden to go out alone.

The biggest impression is that he is dressed in a black robe, but the teachings of different countries will have many differences in black robes, turbans, and veils. Saudi Arabia considers itself to be the most religious in the world, so it is almost impossible to see local Saudi women wearing any color other than black, and the style of the robe, the length of the headscarf, and the degree of veil covering the face are basically the strictest.

A robe wrapped from head to toe, the word wrap is not accurate, because this robe is very, very wide, and the sleeves are also the kind of bat sleeves, people can completely retract their arms into it, tidy up the clothes inside or something, the robe does not cover the surface of the feet but covers the entire foot, and a little will grow out of the back, and it will drag and drag on the ground when walking, don't ask if you will stumble when walking like this, I also admire them!

Even the headscarf has several deformations, the simplest is that the eye part of the picture is all exposed, the upgraded version is in the middle of the nose bridge with a line, used to connect the upper and lower pieces of cloth, the highest level is that the eye part is all covered with black gauze, outsiders look at it is a black cloud, the person who actually wears it can still see the outside world carefully.

I used to think that the robe was a long black loose dress, the headscarf was a black rectangular scarf, and the veil was something similar to a triangular silk scarf, which was tied around the bridge of the nose and tied at the back of the head.

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

What would they do if the veil was pulled off?

It turns out that it's been a lot of thinking, this costume has been popular for thousands of years, okay?

Because their robes are A-shaped, resembling a huge A-line skirt that spreads outward from below the shoulders, not only will they not have the curve of the waist, but they can also basically submerge the curve of the chest. The robes are generally very long, not only covering the feet, but also dragging the back hem on the ground.

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

Curious to let the guide demonstrate, first use the small headscarf on the left to start wrapping the head, although it is said that the small headscarf is actually the same size as the sunscreen scarf we usually use in summer.

The turban is spread on the top of the head, the edge covers half of the forehead, along the temple to the angle of the jaw to the chin and then to the other temple, wrap the whole circle, the part that grows over the top of the head hangs next to the face, and then use a few pins to fix the part of the scarf from the temple and the intersection of the top of the head, tidy it up, and the small turban inside is good.

The domestic *** is basically OK to this extent, but more than half of the women in Saudi Arabia will wear a veil again.

The veil is a piece of cloth like an apron, with a slit left for the eyes in the middle, and the strip of cloth on this seam is pressed on the top where the small turban covers the forehead before, adjust the position of the eyes, and tie the strap at the back of the head, because the position is tied high, so if you pull the veil from under the veil, at most the cloth under the eyes slides down a little, and it is impossible to pull the whole veil down.

Some people wear a veil over the turban, but there are also many people who add a larger shawl to the veil. Compared to the headscarf and veil, this one is simple, draped directly on the head, and the shawl and headscarf are fixed on the top of the head with a pin.

Better than ninjas!

When we usually eat and drink, our eyes are not always staring at the food to our mouths, but because it is not blocked, we can see part of it in the corner of our vision. But if you wear a veil, when the food is delivered into the veil-covered area, you can't see where the food is!

In particular, instead of holding food directly into your mouth, such as bread, you have to grasp the food with a tool, such as a fork and forking the mutton, so how do you feel the part of the mutton under the veil where it goes?

Drinking soup is a big problem, first of all, there is no way to put the whole bowl under the veil, although the veil is large, but it must be able to cover the whole bowl, tilt the bowl to drink the soup without showing the chin, and be careful not to let the part of the cloth between the nose and mouth of the veil invade the soup, which is too technically difficult.

There are signs pointing in the direction of Mecca everywhere, and in the corridors and rooms of the hotel, they are prominently marked.

It is said that all those who are able to rush to the mosque should go to the mosque for all five prayers. But obviously this condition is very difficult to achieve, so it is not uncommon to see people on the streets, in offices, in the corners of shops, taking out a small blanket and kneeling in the direction of Mecca to pray, I have participated in two prayers in the mosque, once in the afternoon and once in the evening.

When praying, the girls consciously line up in a neat row, and the imam will give various commands to praise, bow, stand up straight, kneel, kowtow, and recite the scriptures according to the instructions, and then stand up, and then praise, bow, stand up straight, kneel, kowtow, and recite the scriptures, and then sit up straight, recite the scriptures, and then kneel, kowtow, and recite the scriptures, and then sit up straight on their feet, first to the right and then to the left.

This process is still dazzling after watching it twice, it is simply invincible!
