This photo might have been taken inside a house or hotel. This is definitely not outside. Public photography is banned in Saudi Arabia. Women need to have head to toe covered. Women cannot go to shops/hotels alone, even if they are dying of hunder or thirst. Women cannot show their face in public (I do not know whether they show in private!). If it is muslim women, it will be sacrilage. Muttawah can penalize or punish for showing face or hair. It is not becaz of any faith she is wearing this dress. It is MANDATORY! The 'equal treatment' of women in Saudi does not exist. This is my first-hand experience of staying in Saudi.
