So I found this
thread where I mentioned a friend of mine who used to live in Saudi Arabia. I was never able to convince her to come on here and tell her wild stories, but here's one:
I believe this was sometime around 1970-72. She was living there with her then-husband at her infant daughter. They had a "Women's Day" at the local zoo. This was a day when women and young children could go to the zoo, and the women did not have to wear veils (isn't that nice?)
She showed up to the zoo with her daughter but her camera was confiscated, because they thought she would take pictures of women's faces, which they consider to be pornography.
