The only difference I have seen was that more of the women are wearing abaya's, and that no women are driving. Oh, and I guess that there is a chop-chop square as well. I'm told that every Friday before prayer the Sharia police will behead a convicted man in front of an open forum. I guess that they give an opportunity to the victim's family to let the guy go free, but that often times that the family chooses to go through with the cut.
It has to be said that I am not scheduled to be here on Friday, so I will not have to make the choice to witness or not...
Here's a photo I found of Riyadh

Nothing like living in a civilized country... probably best to stay away from the square on Fridays "If a Westerner is near chop-chop square and an execution is about to commence, they are often shoved to the front of the crowd for a close up view of Saudi (or Islamic) justice."
