              This video offers a glimpse of life for a married middle-class Saudi woman. She wears the Abayah - the traditional black dress with black head covering as this video is available to the general public.

                Women generally do not receive guests in the Saudi households, unless there is a male relative/husband present. Women also have their own separate living rooms where they can entertain friends or family.
At social gatherings, women and men are usually segregated as well.

               Another thing of importance that she mentions is that music of any kind is forbidden, although they can have singing at weddings.
