Do they make women wear head coverings there? Honestly I’d love to visit one of those oil rich Arab countries one day. Everything looks so clean and modern.

About 45 years ago, a good friend and colleague went to Saudi Arabia for an energy job. He had his wife with him and she brought some fashion magazines with her. The Saudi immigration people took black magic markers and covered up all the women models wearing lingerie with black ink!

I haven’t been to the region since the mid 90s. Doha has some remarkable changes.
Everything is now clean and modern.
In some ways I miss the souls and styles of the past.
Hope you get a chance to visit soon.

Head coverings is not a requirement in Qatar but modest dress is required outside of hotels. No shorts, for men or women. And keep your arms cover outside.

I hear that Dubai is as safe as Tokyo or Singapore...and for people wanting to know why, just commit a crime and find out what happens to you.
