Woman attends the Janadriyah cultural festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Started in 1985 and sponsored by the Saudi National Guard, the festival features a variety of activities, sports (including camel racing), dancing (almost unheard of in the kingdom), arts, living history, falconry, traditional arts and crafts, and is a showcase for government institutions and services. It is also a chance to see the Saudi people let their hair down, so to speak. Like any fair, it has it’s silly souvenirs and lighted toys. It is not uncommon (and very strange) to see Saudi women wearing cowboy hats on top of their abayas. .
