Man arrested in Saudi Arabia for eating lunch with female colleague

A Egyptian hotel worker has been arrested in Saudi Arabia after filming himself having breakfast with a female colleague.

The video, which has been shared by thousands in Saudi Arabia, sees the man sitting next to a veiled woman at a desk as they eat.

The Saudi Arabian labour ministry detained the Egyptian man, and have also summoned the hotel owner for questioning.

In footage shared widely on social media, the pair eat breakfast at a desk and wave at the camera.
