Unescorted women have been banned from Dunkin’ Donuts in Saudi Arabia

Signs have been daubed on doors to the shops in the capital Riyadh saying “unescorted women” are not allowed inside.

Dunkin’ Donuts is famous for its sugary treats and the American chain has outlets across the world.

Saudi Arabia has strict rules in place to separate men and women, many of whom wear full face veils.

Western eateries McDonald’s and Pizza Hut have separate entrances for men and women who are also seated apart once inside.

Women who go into restaurants with their husbands and children are seated in family areas which are screened off from other diners allowing them to remove the veil covering their faces.

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where women are banned from driving because of their gender.
