Culture & Etiquette

Muslim religious laws should be taken into consideration. Visitors are expected to observe local standards and should be modestly covered.

There are various forms of greeting, so it is advised that you wait for your counterpart to initiate the greeting. Gifts are not necessary, and if you give a gift it will be opened in private. Avoid giving alcohol, pork, images of naked or partially clad women, even in art.

Gesture and eat with the right hand, the left hand is for hygiene. Don't point.
