Welcome to gender apartheid, Saudi-style:
For a country that goes to such great lengths to segregate unrelated men and women, it took Saudi Arabia a long time to hit on the idea of women-only hotels.
“Inside this physical structure, we are all women,” said the Luthan Hotel’s executive director Lorraine Coutinho. “We even have bell-women. We are women-owned, women-managed and women-run, from our IT engineer to our electrical engineer.
The US-backed dictatorship is also starting to engage with Israel, albeit on a small scale.
If there is a demand, then it is business. For a hotel to be women-only is not institutionalized. Why do you think this is gender apartheid? Services all over the world serve varying demands and fill different niches. I think it is progress if it encourages women traveling unchaperoned.
