Saudi Arabia in the 1980s. If Mecca is regarded as the heart of Islam, Riyadh located in the heart of the Kingdom is undoubtedly the enforcer of the religion. Compared to the more liberal Red Sea resort of Jeddah, Riyadh as a city strictly follows the practices of the Koran.
Now in the 21st century, Saudi Arabia is currently undergoing change. As the country is becoming more liberal, women are starting to have more rights. Although it’s only the beginning, women can now mingle a little more freely and some have even started setting up their own businesses. Saudi Arabia is now a holiday destination.
