Saudi Arabia, Jiddah Beach, 1987
"Popularized by the elite of seventh-century Arabia, the facial veil and head covering worn by a woman on the beach at Jiddah contrast with youngsters' colorful dresses. Veiling became fashionable during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad, perhaps in imitation of his many wives, who covered themselves in public at his request. Girls and boys are raised together until about age seven. Most girls start wearing the veil at puberty."
吉达的沙滩，沙特阿拉伯，1987
七世纪时，面纱和头巾盛行于阿拉伯半岛的上流社会。在吉达沙滩上，妇女戴着的面纱和头巾与少年绚丽的衣服形成了对比。在先知穆罕默德的有生之年，戴面纱流行起来，可能是为了模仿他的众位妻子，她们依照他的请求在公共场合把自己遮盖起来。女孩和男孩被共同抚养到大约7岁。大部分的女孩在青春期开始戴面纱。

"Flush with wealth from its oil fields, the Sultanate of Oman has catapulted from Arabian Peninsula backwater to modern nation—while keeping alive traditions such as lailat al henna, a women-only celebration to honor the bride on the eve of her wedding.
