Dhabi Etiquette |
Greeting
someone in Abu Dhabi
Greetings can be protracted affairs as an
Arab may enquire after you and your family's
health. The polite reply is that all is well,
thanks be to God. It is usual to use 'Sayed'
(Mr) or 'Sayeda' (Mrs) followed by the first
name. The name should always be prefixed with
the honorific title when conducting business.
The Bedouin custom of offering food and shelter
to strangers in the deserts is preserved today
by the coffee ceremony. Business often starts
with a tiny cup of cardamon-flavoured coffee
poured from the traditional metal pot or dallah.
To indicate that you have had enough, guests
must wiggle the cup from side to side.
Tipping advice
Any service charge on a restaurant bill usually
goes to the restaurant rather then the waiter,
therefore, even if tips arent expected,
they are very much appreciated.
Abu Dhabi dress code
Clothing should be conservative and smart.
Women should avoid wearing revealing clothing,
especially in rural areas, and go for loose
clothing such as loose-cut trousers and long
dresses.
Local Customs
The United Arab Emirates is the most liberal
part of the Persian Gulf, however still very
conservative by Western standards. This means
that great offence would be shown by wearing
revealing clothing or in any way showing disrespect
in Mosques or other public places.
