Are you planning a visit to the magnificent country known as Dubai? Then few tips would come handy for you in this article.

Conservative Behavior

In the public eye, Arabs tend to behave conservatively. There is no thing like public display of affection on the streets of Dubai. The society is private here and the feelings are kept in heart only. You will also notice that people don't laugh loudly on streets but it is a different scenario in private, they don't hesitate. Arguments in any relation be it of spouse or friends, are also kept in private or done in a way so that outsiders are not aware of it.

Invitations

If you are invited to dinner then you are not supposed to bring drinks or eateries with you and when you are taken to the guest room, be a keen observer, see, if sandals and shoes are taken off by others then you should also do the same. When you enter the guest room, you should greet others in their language to feel more comfortable. And they would reply you in the same friendly way. The moment you get inside, standing of people and greeting would be a common sight for you. You should start with the same thing from the person who is standing on your right side or the person who is coming to greet you first. Also notice that guest rooms of both modern and not so modern Arabs are arranged in a circular way so not a single person faces the back of the other person. Remember, the sole of your feet should not be pointed towards the other person and always use you right hand when you are receiving or offering something. As the gesture from the right hand shows your sincerity.

Save Face concept

The Arab people do not believe in fights and that is why Save Face Concept is applied by them. It is used to save face, avoid conflicts or any kind of embarrassment and solves issues in a friendlier way. Saving face involves not saying any rude or bad things to the other person so that he leaves without any damage with his dignity intact. The Culture in Dubai lays emphasis on respecting the feeling of other and showing affection and warmth by your acts. It would be important to know this trait of them.

Family Structure

In the family of Arabs, gender and age are crucial to decide the responsibility to be given. The father is the person who is the head of the family and earns bread and butter for it and the mother is an individual who plays an important role in taking care of kids. In the Islam religion, there is a special emphasis on the importance of women in raising children and taking care of the household. But it is not true in many cases, there have been many successful business women who have proved their mettle in the past and continue to do so.
