[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but I do have a question in case anyone knows - in Saudi Arabia the women wear black and in [b]Iran the women wear blue[/b].  Why don't women in Saudi Arabia wear blue?  Wouldn't in be cooler? Is the color dictated by the government?[/quote]

Do you mean in Afghanistan?

[b]In Saudi, Saudi women must wear black niquab (only eyes showing).   Foreign women can wear any type of headscarf, but they also risk harassment if dressed a lot differently.[/b]

In Iran, women are required to wear headscarves, but not of a certain color.   You often see much more hair peeking out in Iran, too.

In Afghanistan, women were required to wear a burqa under the Taliban, and they are generally blue.  It wards off the evil eye.   Now you will see women wearing regular head scarves, but many still wear the burqa for safety.[/quote]
Incorrect, KSA requires an abaya (loose garment on top of regular clothes) only, it does not require women to cover their faces.  Culturally, women in many parts of the kingdom will veil their faces but it isn't required by law.

Foreign women are required to wear an abaya but not a headscarf.  Realistically, it is safer to wear a headscarf but it is not mandated. [/quote]
