[QUOTE]Originally posted by cassia: [QB] Through all these years of researching the best ways of making my way quietly and gently through Egypt, giving the greatest amount of respect and receiving the smallest amount of unwanted attention, I had assumed that veiling was the way to go. Besides, I have always believed that there is a core of common sense in any ancient cultural tradition ... for example, Eskimos need to eat a diet of whale blubber because in that climate, to do otherwise would cause them hypothermia. The land provides for the people. Thus, veiling has a place in a land intense sun and sand storms ... and I do so want to experience the Siroco! Reading these posts, I am less sure. Luxor Lover: Truly ... what would cause more attention? An unveiled blonde westerner or a veiled blonde westerner? I'm thinking that at least from a distance, one would not see the hair colour ... and when you write "pink face" do you mean sun burnt, or simply pale? A deeply tanned veiled person would get less attention than a pale veiled person, huh? And these fatwas, they are being made to sound like physical things ... are they? Could one really collect them and make, say, a charm bracelette of them or something? Omelbanaat: Is what you say really true? That a woman on the beach wearing a western style bathing suit actually gets no more attention than a woman completely veiled? Wow. Changes my long term suitcase packing plans. To think that I was going to sew a series of light cotton, layerable dresses with tiny snaps to affix the coordinated veils ... [/QB][/QUOTE]
