  1. My wife, Maha, and I have just come from a 45-minute drive, she was the driver through Riyadh streets. #saudi #women2drive #WomenRights
  2. عد من طريق الملك فهد ثم العليا العام مع زوجي وقررت اليوم أنا صاحبت السيارة وغدا ممكن يا خذها على كيفه
  3. Maha1410 is my wife, Maha. She has just twitted about her driving expedition in Arabic before I did in English. #women2drive
  4. For you out there, @Maha1410 has taken her necessary belongings. Ready to go to prison without fear! #women2drive
  5. First one! RT @Ana3rabeya: TT @t_saif We just returned from supermarket, My Wife decided 2 start the day by driving to and from the store.
  6. imamyali just fine, some people looked surprised, others were smiling
  7. Because my mother couldn't change my present, I decided to change my daughter's future #WomenSpring #WomenRights #Saudi
  8. AntiLogic1 @Ana3rabeya @ayshak There's no religious basis for discrimination, they have to prove women didn't ride camels/ horses in Islam
  9. Jewelsabbar It's not legal to drive without a license. Don't give them a legal reason to arrest you.
