All restaurants and many other public locations in Saudi Arabia are segregated by sex. Single men (not single women) go into the Singles' Section. Women and families (men with women; children with women too) go into adjacent Family Sections.
I feel this is one reason there are no "No Smoking" sections in Saudi Arabia -- very hard to organize -- would they have to create four sections!

Attending a wonderful dinner party on Friday as invited by Maher Kotob. On the outskirts of Riyadh in a closed off private rental area. Grass. Lots of expats from Lebanon and Syria. Great food!
