To the uninitiated, this is pretty much the closest we can get to having a visual representation of an actual Saudi lady covered in hijab (unless we can let a Saudi lady friend of ours pose for the camera). Can anybody guess where this sign is used? Plus points to those who can read out what the Arabic says.
This sign used to be found around the city but nowadays, the photo of the lady is no longer used with it. Can anybody recall the Michael Jackson incident in Dubai? Go figure.
Forgive the photo, this was taken in public, so we had to rush it.
Only in Saudi Arabia.
5 had something to say:
Buti hindi kayo nahuli. Tsk. ^^
hmmm... let me guess..
female wash room?
(kase dun nagkaron ng controversy si MJ... wearing "Parda" and entered in one of the female washrooms inside a mall...)
Hamam! (Hindi nga? Ngayon ko lang nabalitaan ung kay MJ).
i'll try the arabic word - "alsayadat". tama ba? ;) just don't know the exact meaning though hehe. nice post!
AZEL answered it correctly but leelou gets the a point too for reading the Arabic word. :) Al-Sayadat means "female".
@Nebz: Yeah, diba, the veiled image looks like the late MJ? He was "arrested" or "reprimanded" for mistakingly entering a ladies' toilet in Dubai. No wonder he thought he could go in there, coz the pic looks like him! :P
