WTTEN<\/span>-The Egyptian ministry of tourism has placed a ban against hotels enforcing a ban on the burkini. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new order allows all women to wear what they want at the poolside – ending a debate that has continued in Egyptian society for at least a year.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The ministry bans all hotels from preventing Hijab-wearers from entering swimming pools in costumes that cover the entirety of their bodies,” read the order, signed by the deputy director of the Egyptian Hotel Association, Sameh al-Jaraf.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The vast majority of women in the Muslim-majority country wear the Hijab and thereforechoose to wear the Burkini<\/span><\/a>out of religious piety \u2013 however some high-end hotels have banned the Burkini on fashion grounds<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Egyptian Facebook users have commented on a culture in some private pools and hotels where the burkini is seen as ‘regressive’ and unfashionable in the eyes of high-society.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The issue came to a head in August 2016 after a group of women filmed a hotel manager mocking a woman in a burkini.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/span>How can you swim in the pool with this thing on? Go swim with it anywhere else,” he said.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The video inspired thousands of views and sparked debate on social media over the treatment of women who wear burkinis in Egypt.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
