Hunched over platters of dates and Arabic coffee, Saudi women raring to drive once a government ban ends next June signed up for another revolution - to be the kingdom's first female cab drivers.
King Salman last month decreed that women will be allowed driving permits, a historic reform that could put not just millions of women behind the wheel but potentially many more into the workforce.
Sensing a lucrative opportunity, the Dubai-based ride-hailing company Careem says it plans to hire up to 100,000 female chauffeurs to lure new clients in the kingdom.
This week, the company held its first recruitment session in the coastal city of Khobar, which attracted a diverse crowd - from housewives to working women - who already have foreign driving licenses.
"For years I felt helpless. My car would be parked outside and I could not drive," said Nawal Al Jabbar, a 50-year-old mother of three, sipping coffee from a thimble-sized cup.
