As I understand it the queen of marocco appearing in public is new and we never see pictures of the women of the saudi arabian royals.
I never read in no-where that ME royal first ladies have to keep a low profile and they are supposed to be that way!

If it’s the reality in some ME countries, personally I see it as a royal way of life which most of the time doesn't follow whole society change.

I agree on this. Usually we comment on ME royals spending/way of life and we forget that the big part of their behaviors are based on some elites agreement who take advantages of that. Hopefully those elites don’t represent the whole society.
