Restaurants in Saudi Arabia will no longer be gender segregated
The Saudi Arabian government has rolled back a law that required restaurants to maintain separate entrances for families and women, and a separate one for just men. While it is unclear if this means segregation inside the restaurants is no longer required, the law has been rolled back on a voluntary basis, meaning that restaurants can still choose to follow gender segregation at their premises.
