all you could see of her was her eyes, she even had gloves on.
I really honestly don't know what this means so can someone with middle eastern knowledge please explain why a woman covers up like that ?
I have no ill intention in asking this but I always wonder why when I see this
And I saw two women standing on the sidewalk covered from head to toe, like you said. And I couldn't imagine what they could possibly do there - go to the beach or in swimming, go on the amusement park rides, play video games at the numerous arcades, get ice cream or pizza or a souvenir tee shirt? That's what most tourists there do.
