There is an awesome water park in Saudi Arabia. Since Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country, I wonder whether women are allowed to play there. As the swimming suits are still so exposed there, I guess. Or there is an exception for foreign women?
I haven't been to Saudi Arabia and I am curious to it.

I guess they are allowed as long as they cover up appropriately. Like in the Olympics, Muslim women are participating in things like beach volleyball but they are well covered. Actually I much rather watch them than those with skimpy bikinis

I have checked the rules of the water park and this is an excerpt from their site
" Women and teenaged girls are of course not allowed to swim, but children and teenaged boys can swim and have fun in the sun and water."
This is exactly what I thought.

I imagine they have their own spaces separate from men.
