April 2021 was the first time when women were let in to the security services, and they have been monitoring various holy places in the cities of Mecca and Medina, which are the two most important cities for Islam, as the religion was culminated from these two cities a little more than 1,400 years ago.
These women are donning a military khaki unform with a long jacket and loose trouser, completed with a black beret on top of the veil that covers their hair. This year marks the first year that they are part of the security that is present during Hajj, which is an annual pilgrimage done by Muslims in the last month of the Islamic calendar.
From a historical perspective, the deployment of female officers in the two holy cities is one of the many remarkable changes that Saudi Arabia has witnessed since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched the Vision 2030 plan in April 2016.
