Saudi Arabia had run into a controversy after a recent visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel as social media users criticised the kingdom for censoring her hair on a TV channel.

The German chancellor visited the kingdom for the first time in seven years where she met Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz on April 30 as she began a visit focused on bilateral relations and preparations for the next G20 meeting.
