Saudi King Salman is apparently so taken with Bali that he is extending his holiday in Bali.

The king and his entourage of more than 1,000 were originally scheduled to vacay in Bali from March 4 to 9, but they are adding on an extra three days and will instead depart on March 12, according to local media.

Widjaja said he did not know the king’s agenda for his stay in Bali in great detail, but told press that Bali’s “stable climate” and “beautiful beaches” were what made the king want to prolong his trip.

I don't have any ailment, that's why I cannot eat as much as I would like to vomit whenever I hear anything related to Saudi Arabia.

What you have posted is haram in Saudi Arabia and she would probably be punished harshly if she ever dared to walk in the public in this outfit.
