saudi arabia / 01

Veröffentlicht am 29. Dezember 2023 von admin | Veröffentlicht in Menschen

saudi arabien verändert sich gesellschaftlich momentan sehr rasch. sogar frauen dürfen hier auto fahren! :-)

wir waren in einem hardware store und wurden von einer frau angesprochen und zum abendessen bei ihrer familie zuhause eingeladen. sie erzaehlte von den vielen positiven veränderungen, die durch das königshaus angestoßen wurden, quasi eine revolution von oben. ihre 23 jährige nichte trug die ganze zeit ihre abaya und konnte sich, unter protest ihrer tante, eine arrangierte hochzeit vorstellen. mittlerweile ist weder die abaya und schon gar nicht die niqab die pflichtbekleidung der saudischen frauen, allerdings sind beide kleidungsstücke noch allgemein üblich.

wir durchquerten einen teil der rub`al khali, die größe zusammenhängende sandwüste der welt, recht rasch um in den oman zu gelangen, werden aber bald nach saudi arabien und in die wüste zurückkehren.

saudi arabia is currently undergoing rapid social change. even women are allowed to drive here! 
we were in a hardware store and were approached by a woman and invited to dinner at her family’s home. she told us about the many positive changes that have been initiated by the royal family, a kind of revolution from above. her 23-year-old niece wore her abaya all the time and, under protest from her aunt, could imagine an arranged wedding. meanwhile, neither the abaya nor the niqab is compulsory for Saudi women, although both garments are still commonly worn.

we crossed part of the rub`al khali, the largest continuous sand desert in the world, quite quickly to get to oman, but will soon return to saudi arabia and the desert.

Hello Norbert,
once again really great impressive pictures. In the night shot of Rub’al Khali I wonder where the glow on the horizon comes from. The starry sky shows (if I am not mistaken) Casiopeia and the Pleiades, so the glow at this time cannot come from the moon. Is this the glow of a city?
Greetings Steffen
