New Saudi club to open with NeYoCompound, but alcohol is still a no-no
Ne-Yo attends Ebony Magazine's Ebony's Power 100 Gala at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Nov. 30, 2018 in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The Saudi club is temporary, though, operating for just a month until July 18th as part of a city-wide festival in Jiddah aimed at boosting tourism and domestic spending. The Red Sea city is seen as more liberal and diverse than the landlocked capital, Riyadh, where restaurants and cafes enforce gender segregation between single men and women.
Trad said the dress code is “smart casual,” meaning women will not be required to wear the country’s mandatory loose robe, known as the abaya, or the traditional headscarf and face veil most Saudi women don in public. The venue is on the Jiddah waterfront, where private beaches do not enforce strict dress codes. In a departure from venues in conservative Riyadh, it will serve sheesha, or hookah, the popular Middle Eastern waterpipe.
