For women only

Panorama Mall also has a private women’s section, the entrance to which has a guard (as I guess they all do, to prevent any adventurous men from going inside). It’s a place where women can relax and shop without wearing abayas and headscarves.

In South Africa they would call this "Apartheid". Nice capture of this situation.

Rather nice - where women can just be women - I like the colours and reflections here V

Isn't that interesting! So they can leave their abayas somewhere inside this women-only mall? It must feel quite freeing. V

I thought the same as Mairéad !

At least the men are not there to pick up the bills!

I actually thought this was a staircase leading to a viewing point for ladies only.
