On a tour, we stopped for lunch in a small shopping mall. This is a pic from one of the store's windows.
What is this outfit called? What is its specific purpose? Where is this store located (country)?
Islamic female swimsuit (Burkini) Kuwait or London, Honolulu, St. Tropez, Fr, Capri, It, Sydney, AU, etc., etc.
The one in the reflection is called cargo shorts and tennis shoes! 😎
I'll give you a 25% on that, Alan. The description is correct, but that is not the name of it. Also, the country is incorrect, even after another edit.
I only ever know snippets of these photos. Clearly a country where women have to cover up. How about Morocco?
Oh, the other one. Windsurfing wetsuit. Store is in the U.K.
British and Sam, no.
I missed this comment the first time. Now that you mention it, I see 3 reflections. I'm probably the reflection in the mannequin.
Nike hajib pro suit.
Alan - you edited your post and added burkini after I responded
A burkini (or burqini; portmanteau of burqa and bikini, though qualifying as neither of these garments) is a type of modesty swimsuit for women. The suit covers the whole body except the face, the hands and the feet, while being light enough for swimming.
We still need the country. here's a hint, especially for Sam. We stopped for lunch at this location not far from an international border crossing which we made by bus and took a while.
Jordan or Israel. Actually probably available in both as well as Palestinian territories. e.g. Baraka Sports in Amman .
Jordan is correct.
On the Israel/Jordan tour, we crossed from Israel into Jordan at the Allenby Bridge near the north end of the Dead Sea. After a bit of a drive, we stopped at a small mall for lunch, then proceeded to the Movenpick Hotel, which was another 10 minute or so drive.
No hood, but my warm water wet suit looks a lot like a Burkini (P & G)
