Photos: 'Burkinis' on Syrian Beaches and Pools, and New Rules
In a circular detailing regulations for tourists visiting beaches and swimming pools, the Syrian Ministry of Tourism specified permissible swimwear, with a particular recommendation for women to wear "burkinis."
According to the circular, published by the Syrian newspaper Al-Watan, the Ministry of Tourism requested more "modest swimwear" be worn at public beaches and swimming pools. It noted the necessity of wearing what is known as a "burkini" or any clothing that 'covers the body more extensively,' as per the text of the circular.
You can read the full circular in the attached images.
