Saudi Arabia's national dress and hijab-wearing women have been denied entry into a French restaurant in the city of Jeddah, sparking controversy across the country.
Two of Islam's holiest sites are located in the country, where this incident is believed to be a first of its kind.
The shocking decision enraged many visitors to the restaurant.
Netizens in Saudi Arabia urged authorities to take action against the restaurant on social media.
In the home of Islam, the eatery was also accused of disrespecting Islam.A social media user named Ameera Al Qahtani commented on the restaurant's Facebook page: "This restaurant does not deserve any stars.". It does not allow women to wear the hijab, and does not allow men to wear the Saudi dress. Jeddah should be closed down. They don't respect our religion, and that makes me angry."
