Saudi Arabia has undertaken a huge project to develop tourism. The plan is to develop a luxury resort on 50 Red Sea islands and other facilities.
According to international media reports, Saudi Arabia has made such a decision as part of a move to diversify its economy, which is suffering from falling oil prices. The country hopes to attract local and foreign tourists. In that case, visa restrictions for foreigners in tourist areas will also be relaxed.
But it has not yet been clarified whether short dresses and other items will be exempted. Currently, alcohol (liquor), movies and dramas are banned in Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia, women are required to wear long loose clothing (alkhalla) from the neck to the feet when going out. If you are a Muslim, you have to wear a scarf.
Saudi Arabia is currently flexible on some religious issues. Women were not allowed to drive till now, but now it has been relaxed. To study or to go somewhere, the permission of the male guardian was needed for so long. That law has also been relaxed.
Construction of Saudi Arabia's new resort is scheduled to begin next year, according to media reports. As part of the plan, the first phase will see the construction of a new airport, luxury hotels and houses. The country has set a target of completing this phase by 2022.
