Thread: Saudi Arabia to open luxury beach resort where women can wear bikinis

But will Muslim women be allowed on the beach.?

Saudi Arabia is to open a new luxury beach resort where women will be allowed to wear bikinis.

The country's new heir to the throne, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, announced a Red Sea resort on a stretch of Saudi Arabia’s northwest coastline.

It comes as part of the royal's attempt to modernise the Saudi economy.

Saudi Arabia’s rules on women are among the strictest in the world. Women are not allowed to drive and are unable to travel without permission from a male relative.

Women are also expected to cover their skin and hair when they are outside, meaning bikinis are traditionally out of the question.

But the government has said the resort will be “governed by laws on par with international standards”.

The resort, spread over 200 miles of golden beaches and 50 “untouched natural islands” will allow women to sunbathe in bikinis even when men are near.

“The Red Sea project will be a luxury resort destination situated across the islands of a lagoon and steeped in nature and culture,” Saudi Arabia’s investment fund said.

“It will set new standards for sustainable development and bring about the next generation of luxury travel to put Saudi Arabia on the international tourism map.”

Tourists would also not need a visa to travel to the destination, and the resort will offer activities such as parachuting, trekking and rock climbing.

The development is set to begin in 2019 and the first phase is predicted to be completed by 2022.

Actually, untrue- those laws have recently been changed. Chastity belt sales have skyrocketed.

Waste of time, what a load of bullshit, maybe we can send Za on a crowd funding holiday to film the SIGHT for sore eyes bikini camel headers wives camel toes.
Seeing is believing .

Saudi Arabia to open luxury beach resort where women can wear bikinis

Saudi Arabia’s new heir to the throne has announced plans for a beach resort where special laws will allow women to wear bikinis instead of covering up their skin.

As part of his drive to modernise the Saudi economy, Prince Mohammed bin Salman has unveiled plans for a luxury Red Sea resort on a stretch of coast line in the country’s northwest.

Knowing that foreign visitors are unlikely to come to beaches where women are forced to cover up in an abaya - a robe-like dress - the government said the resort will be “governed by laws on par with international standards”.

Saudi Arabia’s own laws on women are among the most repressive in the world, with women banned from driving and unable to travel without permission from a male relative.

Women are expected to cover their skin and hair when they are outside, although the laws are not uniformly enforced. Last month, a young woman was arrested for wearing a miniskirt in an abandoned village.

Alcohol is banned under Saudi law and it is not clear if it will be allowed on the resort.

Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund described the project as an “exquisite luxury resort destination established across 50 untouched natural islands”.

“The Red Sea project will be a luxury resort destination situated across the islands of a lagoon and steeped in nature and culture.

“It will set new standards for sustainable development and bring about the next generation of luxury travel to put Saudi Arabia on the international tourism map,” the fund said.

Construction is set to begin in 2019 and the first phase of the project will be completed by 2022, according to the announcement. It hopes to host a million visitors a year by 2035.

The Red Sea project is part of Prince Mohammed’s Vision 2030 - a plan to diversify the Saudi economy and wean it off its dependence on oil.

Some foreign investors have applauded the young prince, who is often referred to by his initials “MbS”, but others have said the plan is unlikely to succeed.

Saudi Arabia may seen an opening in the tourism market as neighbouring Egypt struggles to convince foreigners that its own Red Sea resorts are safe.

The Egyptian holiday area has been wracked by a number of attacks in recent years, including the bombing of a Russian airliner that took off from Sharm el-Sheikh. Visitor numbers have slumped as a result.

The Saudi statement stressed that the project “will be an extremely safe and secure environment that will ensure the protection of all visitors in accordance with the highest international best practice”.

Most foreigners will be able to fly straight into the tourism zone without a visa, another easing of Saudi law designed to make the resort more attractive.

Prince Mohammed was elevated to the role of crown prince in June after his older uncle, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, was stripped of the role.

Prince Mohammed is the son of the current king, Salman, and already has broad authority over the kingdom’s economy as well as its defence and foreign policies.

A spokesman for the public investment fund did not respond to a request for comment.

Saudi Arabia to open luxury beach resort where women can wear bikinis

You can't polish a turd.

Jeddah has had beach resorts where women can wear bikinis (and occasionally less) since a long time before I first went there in 1996.

Guards at the gate would make sure that only expats were allowed in, but there would be some trusted locals that would come in as well.

I remember (vividly) a few Swedish (I think they were Swedish, didn't check their passports) flight attendants coming out of the sea and heading for the open shower to wash the salt water from their bodies.
Off came their bikinis as well...

Unless they are exclusively for foreigners, they'd better make sure they have a shitload of cleaning crew trained in biological waste.

What's wrong with the swimwear Muslims wear presently?



Most Thai women wear swimsuits that cover most of the body. But I suppose if you want to wear a bikini in Saudi Arabia it's nice to have the option. But I'm sure you'll just attract the wrong kind of attention.

It's not a realistic picture.

In real life all those south asians (and a few Saudis) would all be jerking off.

... but you can roll it in glitter ...

If women can wear bikini's can men wear thong's?

Good question. I'll get back to you, on that, but only after I've chatted with my "ole lady", oops! corrected to "my spouse', regarding some "honey tonite, love" topic. Ok? Cheers!

You live in Saudi Arabia? I thought everyone on here lived in Thailand. Have you been to Dubai? I would love to see the Khalifa Tower.
