SAUDIS NATIONAL DAY

The 80th national day of Saudi Arabia was celebrated for the first time in Western Australia at the Fremantle Esplanade today. It was a colourful spectacle of dance, music, food and information, in a very friendly atmosphere.

Interesting to see the men doing the dancing and serving. Emancipation at its best, if it wasn’t for the, often confronting for Westerners, full body black garments of the women and the hijabs and burqas they wear.
