• A Vogue Arabia photoshoot involving international supermodels - including Kate Moss - holding raunchy poses close to the holy city of Medina, in Saudi Arabia, has sparked outrage.
  
  The Arabic edition of the renowned US-based fashion magazine released last Tuesday a photoshoot series entitled "24 hours in Al Ula".
  
  It featured supermodels Kate Moss, Mariacarla Boscono, Candice Swanepoel, Jourdan Dunn, Amber Valletta, Xiao Wen and Alek Wek wearing tight dresses with thigh-high cuts as they posed and walked around a historical city in Medina Governorate, a province which is also home to the second holiest site in Islam.
  
  Al-Ula is an UNESCO World Heritage site, known as "the world's largest open air museum", made up of carved rock structures similar to Jordan's Petra.
  
  Saudi authorities gave permission for the photoshoot, as part of a series of reforms implemented by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but dubbed by many as superficial and glossing over gross human rights abuses.
  
  While Riyadh has removed some restrictions on women over the last year - including allowing them to travel and drive cars - analysts say male guardians largely retain control over the lives of female relatives.
  
  Critics allege the reform measures are part of a "charade" to present Saudi Arabia as a modern and reformist kingdom despite the continued imprisonment of rights activsts
  Many took to Twitter to slam the hypocrisy by the kingdom in its latest bid to appear "more liberal" with the Vogue photo shoot, despite jailing women's rights activists.
  
  "Saudi Arabia authorises a steamy photoshoot by Vogue Arabia in a Medina province, while they detain women's rights activists, including Loujain al-Hathloul, who campaigned against the driving ban imposed on women," one Twitter user wrote.
  
  "#SaudiArabia allows raunchy Vogue photoshoot of international supermodels within the historical site of Al-Ula in the province of Madina. This is a half-naked and sexually provocative photo shoot. Doesn't know how many surprises Saudi Arabia give in future," another user said.

I am sure he will bro, honestly we will see strip clubs in Mecca and Medina not so long in future ( Astaghfirullah )

I've a huge problem and difference of opinion with Shia's but at least I must give it to them they keep their and to some extent our holy such as places like where Ali RA lived and become martyr and Hussian RA clean from all that kind of filth and immorality .. Even if there are bad people which exploit it but at least their Govt is not letting naked models walking around ..

Medina and its outskirts is where my Prophet use to walk , his feet touches that land and now in that land naked models will walk and pose .. Allah is watching, and if not for his promise to Prophet that he wont leave us alone, we would be blow to bits by the Gibreal AS by the order of Allah ..

On topic: Was it done within city limits of Madina? Just wanted to confirm.

What a piece of shyt.

You know bro what's funny , I am sure MBS didn't even know that what he is doing is actually what Prophet as philosophized about the Arabs . Just like there is a Hadith of barefoot Arab Bedoins will compete with each other for tall buildings, honestly if someone read this hadith, logic says that Arabs would make law against building tall buildings , but despite them knowing this Hadith most likely , they keep on doing it .. Matlab Khuda ka kauf hi nai hai na ..
