The reason why Salma and her photographer were arrested was that they were shooting without the authorization in Saqqara archaeological site. The Pyramid of Djoser is almost 4700 years old and it is a UNESCO world heritage. The historical monument has strict rules and regulations when it comes to photography. Photography is banned if the pictures clicked are indecent and disrespectful. In Salma Al-Shimi's photos, her Egyptian costume is extremely revealing, according to the local police.
