Saudi Arabia - Been there, done that on a family vacation sponsored by my brother who was posted to the US Embassy. It was a unique experience! My wife had to wear the head-to-toe covering, was not allowed to drive, had to eat in restaurants behind a curtain etc.  I have lots of stories. Here&#x27;s one: We try and pick up artwork in very country we visit but were initially thwarted in Saudi by the &quot;Religious Police&quot;. The heavily-armed police saw us coming as my blue-eyed, blond daughter stood out like a sore thumb. They cut us off and told us that we would not be allowed to enter the gallery we were attempting to visit because the owner had tried to allow men and women inside for a show at the same time. They had positioned large curtains around the shop and said that my wife could enter by herself if she desired. We declined.
