Admiring the Gulf

Even in what seems like a very liberal emirate, women in Dubai still wear an abaya and headscarf. Unlike in Saudi Arabia, though, foreigners are not required to.

Are the women required to or is optional? This is a really fascinating capture. Very well done. V

Nice candid and interesting comment, Helen. I would guess all bodies of water are amazing to a desert folk. Vote.

Excellent shot and so interesting again, to see the contrast in dress. V

Interesting that the man and children aren't in traditional dress. Looks like they're photographing the sea - a first time maybe - a great shot Helen V

A very nice capture and cultural statement. Living in a university town, this dress code is common and I have always felt it important to respect the customs of others.

Looks like they realy admire the sea. They take pictures of the water which is understandable in a desert environment

I would go crazy wearing that. I prefer a lot less clothing. When I look at these pictures, I am thankful to be here in Texas.
