Great videos Maria, I echo everyone elses gratitude! While I was watching the videos, I paid close attention to each of the women's surroundings.
In the first ideo of the young mother who is a journalist. Clean home, modern appliances, open spaces. She stated she didn't have a maid so she must clean her home herself. Working part-time so she could devote her time to her son, who by the way did not seem happy with the reporters intrusion!

I would wonder though, in a room of abaya clad women and no one spoke, how would a child identify his/her mother? Just curious. Also, the shopping excursion was interesting, trendy clothes, shoes but where would they purchase their abayas?

The second video was of a doctor who appeared self-assured and authoritative. The husband in the video was respectul as were the men who were in the corridors. I noticed that they were also covered!

Yes they typified upper middle class citizens but still a revealing look into their personal and professional lives.
