"Compound"

Compound when applied to a human habitat refers to a cluster of buildings in an enclosure, having a shared or associated purpose. The enclosure may be a wall, a fence, a hedge or some other structure, or it may be formed by the buildings themselves, when they are built around an open area or joined together. In some countries of the Middle East region, the compounds are very usual amongst the foreign communities specially europeans and americans.

'Abbaya,s wardrobe'

The abbaya is a robe-like dress, worn by women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is considered an Arabic cultural dress integrated into the hijab, or islamic dress, for many countries of the Arabian peninsula, where it is the national dress.

In the photo an abbaya,s wardrobe, the room to keep the abbayas of thousands of women attending an important event in Riyadh.

Traditional abayas are black and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head. The abaya covers the whole body except the face, feet, and hands. It can be worn with the niqab, a face veil covering all but the eyes. Some women choose to wear long black gloves, so their hands are covered as well.

"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters, and the women of the faithful, to draw their wraps over them. They will thus be recognised and no harm will come to them. God is forgiving and kind".33:59 ( Quranic verse Translated by Ahmed Ali)
