Yemen - Mystery woman of Al Mukhala - Fish Market

    There is a rule in Arabic countries where men are not allowed to take photos of woman, luckily the same doesn't apply for me as a woman therefore some of the local women allowed me to take picture of them.

    Women, Islam, and Hijab – Background

    Hijab is the Arabic term for "cover", based on the root meaning "to veil, to cover (verb), to screen, to shelter". In some Arabic-speaking countries and Western countries, the word hijab primarily refers to women's head and body covering, but in Islamic scholarship, hijab is given the wider meaning of modesty, privacy, and morality.
