Sana'a girl with mirror
A young woman in Sana'a checks she looks her best before heaidng out onto the streets. These black veils have largely taken over from the beautiful old red and blue ones that fifteen years ago, when I first went to Yemen, all the highland women wore. Today it's mainly only the old who wear them. The fashion in black comes from the influences of Saudi and it's version of Wahabisim.
