The Saudi authorities have allowed the "Vogue" international magazine, to photograph noisy clips of international fashion models, in the administrative area of Al-Ula, which belongs to the city of Medina, and the Arabic edition of the magazine published clips of the advertising campaign for the brand "Mono".
The footage featured international models, such as "Kate Moss", "Maria Carla Boscono", "Candice Swanepoyle", "Jodan Dan", "Amber Valletta" and "Alec Wake".

According to observers, Saudi Arabia stirred controversy after it allowed filming scenes described as "scandalous" for international models.
They considered that the nature of photography and the dresses of the obscene models were not suitable for the sanctity of the region, as the location of the photography is only 300 kilometers from Medina.
The Royal Commission for the Province of Al-Ula was established by a royal decree in July 2017 “with the aim of developing the province in a manner commensurate with its historical value, its heritage sites, its natural landscapes and its human heritage,” and the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman chairs its Board of Directors.
The campaign sparked angry reactions from activists on social media platforms, who considered that "what happened is not appropriate to the sanctity of the place in addition to the paradox between what is happening in Saudi Arabia and what happened today in Turkey by converting the Hagia Sophia to a mosque and raising the call to prayer" as they put it.

A wonderful paradox. The ears are raised in the Hagia Sophia, while filming naked cassettes prostitutes are located in the cleanest land on the face of this Medina. Oh God, do not take us to what the fools did to us # Turkey # Syria #Ayasofya

Mohammed bin Salman allows "Vogue" magazine to shoot sessions of semi-nude models in Medina.

Rajab Tayyip Erdogan will restore the Hagia Sophia building to a mosque as it was before the last Islamic caliphate was toppled and changed into a museum.
Which one writes history !!!!

The controversial move comes in the context of the alleged reforms initiated by Saudi Arabia since Muhammad bin Salman came to power, and is also an extension of steps that have curtailed the authority of the religious police.
