Can girls wear shorts in Qatar?
No, shorts are not allowed in public in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia enforces a modest dress code in public spaces for both residents and visitors. Women must cover their knees and shoulders at all times, and specific items such as short bottoms, miniskirts, sleeveless shirts, and crop tops are strictly prohibited in public areas. While the traditional abaya is now optional for tourist women, you are still expected to dress conservatively. You should avoid wearing anything that is transparent, clingy, or revealing. While you may have more freedom in how you dress within private western-style compounds or expat-designated residential areas, the conservative standards are the default expectation across the city.
