Saudi Arabia does away with gender-segregated entrances for restaurants, further chipping away at some of the world's strictest social rules
Restaurants in Saudi Arabia will no longer need to maintain entrances segregated by sex, the authorities said on Sunday, further eroding some of the world's strictest social rules as sweeping reforms take hold.
But Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has brought the religious establishment to heel – partly by arresting critics – and eased other restrictions, including bans on women driving and public entertainment. There was no announcement of changes to other public establishments, such as schools and hospitals, which appear likely to remain segregated for now.
