Saudi Arabia has opened its first hotel for women only, with no men allowed on the site.

Inside this hotel, women will be able uncover themselves freely as if at home, and enjoy pool and spa facilities normally restricted to certain fixed sessions. Owned by a group of Saudi princesses and businesswomen, the hotel has been formally opened by Prince Sultan bin Salman.
