Saudi taboos Arab customs

1. Arab customs and habits: (1) Dining table culture: According to Muslim customs, cattle and sheep are the top products in this country. Pork, seafood with shells and scaleless fish are prohibited. Meat does not contain blood.

In the past, Arabs used their right hand to eat, but now they use Western tableware to entertain guests.

(2) Social etiquette culture: Saudi Arabians often shake hands as a greeting when outside.

If both parties (referring to men) have the same beliefs or are relatively friendly, they will touch each other three times from left to right.

Sometimes the host will hold the other person's right hand with his left hand to show his kindness.

When exchanging items, use your right hand or both hands, avoid using your left hand.

2. Arab taboos: Do not expose the soles of your feet to Saudis, and do not habitually mention topics about shoes; when shaking hands with Saudi guests, if the guest holds your hand, do not take the initiative to withdraw it prematurely.
