Abaya are available in many colors and can be worn. Scarf is not compulsory. Environment is very similar to Jeddah

Formal requrements regarding the dresses are unclear. Even if it is ok to wear something else from the legal perspective,聽 if I was a woman here I would not try it. Face the fact, she will get lots of unwanted attention/comments from the people around who feel it undermines the dignity or whatever they think. Colored abaya and no scarf is ok though.
