Bathing beauty tourists: welcome to Saudi Arabia
Arabs. It's not enough that they hate you and want to kill you, what with you being an infidel and all. No, now, on top of that, they want your tourist dollars.At a recent tourism exhibition in Dubai, Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdel Aziz, secretary-general of the Saudi tourism commission, announced that henceforth the kingdom would welcome those who wish to scuba dive. Oh yes, that means women, too.
But there are bin conditions from Sultan bin Salman bin Abdel.
Any woman under 40 must be accompanied by a male relative--and women are to be covered from head to toe. No bathing suits, no skin, is forbidden! We will cut your bin-infidel bin-arms off! Only is allowed good clean Koran approved fun.What to make of this? Apparently the only possible, accepted, mullah-thumbsup/imam-sanctioned diving for women will take place in the hard to find but oh so very Saudi-stylish Burkha Beauty ™ Scuba Suit.
Here, then: the Koran-OK'd getup that gets the go-ahead from the Saudis. Now, just how hard do you think it'll be to swim in a burkha? Here are your choices:• bin-unlikely
• bin-you must be joking
• bin-up yours, ragheads, I'm going to Eilat instead.
