Hejaz is an Islamic kingdom situated on the west coast of Arabia. It contains the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, but its largest city and capital is Jeddah. Although it has progressed much in the past few decades, Hejaz remains one of the more religiously conservative nations with minorities and women reporting more discrimination than in most other nations besides Nejd and a handful of others. Exposure to migrants (both religious and otherwise) has increasingly opened the country up to more liberal ideas, and the newest success has been the passage of a law barring sexual discrimination for most kinds of white-collar jobs. According to a recent survey, 16% of Hejazi women wear the full-body burqa, and a further 62% wear the hijab (head scarf). This leaves 22% that do not wear either. Mo
