While a vast majority of Egyptians are Muslim the society appeared fairly liberal (certainly when compared to Saudi Arabia or Iraq) in the public practice of Islam. Woman appeared free to choose (other than family pressures) what they wore in Public. Most woman we saw in Cairo wore clorful attire that still covered their heads but not their full face like the women pictured below.
We did see quite a few woman though in full black cover like the woman pictured below. Now I would think that shopping for this get up would be quite easy and you wouldn't really have many decisions to make if you choose to wear the full black garb.
Apparently I am very wrong in that thought as check out all the model displays for the black garb at this fashionable storefront in Cairo. I wonder if they put models on the catwalk with that line as well?
