Restaurants and cafes in Saudi Arabia are no longer required to have gender-segregated entrances, officials said, in a further easing of social restrictions in the ultra-conservative Islamic kingdom.
The ministry of municipalities and rural affairs said on Twitter Sunday it was eliminating several requirements for restaurants, including the need for “an entrance for bachelors and a separate entrance for families”.Restaurants are currently segregated into a “family” section for those accompanied by women and a “singles” area for men, though many have quietly taken down the barriers in recent years amid the kingdom’s sweeping liberalisation drive.
Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince , has sought to project a moderate, business-friendly image of his austere kingdom as he seeks to boost investment. Until three years ago, the religious police elicited widespread fear in the kingdom, chasing men and women out of malls to pray and berating anyone seen mingling with the opposite sex.
zbnfam Arewa Twitter will be on fire again today, issuing fatwa on MBS.
See as this man fine! Why segregate before? Ndị ụwa!
Hmm... My instinct is telling me that arewa twitter is going to be dragged today..
