This is an - unfortunately very unclear (it's very hard to snap photos of people around here...) - photograph of a young Lebanese woman arriving to Saudi Arabia.
We're on the bus taking us from the plane to the airport building.
A few minutes before we landed, she donned her black abaya - this long black robe which serves the very strange role of a State uniform for women in Saudi Arabia - above her casual, Beiruti clothes.
The bag she holds is from Hard Rock Cafe Beirut -- the last visible sign of the world outside of Saudi that will be visible on her person... A reminder of a world of normalcy in this boring, redundant country.
Welcome to Saudi Arabia!
