Coffee and tea are part of UAE hospitality and heritage. Emirati households without exception are attached to such ancient tradition.
Etiquette is important to us (Emiratis). The culture here has evolved from a deep-rooted belief in Islam, which is more than just a religion. It is a total way of life, which governs every activity and decision that is made in our daily life.
Our Key Concepts are:
- Islam – an important and influential role in shaping the society and culture of the UAE. Laws, education, food, clothes, daily routines and even conversations are all strongly influenced by Islam.
- Family – its the basis of Emirati social structure and play a role in shaping a person’s values and behavior.
- Hospitality – an essential part of Emirati culture and applies to both social and professional contexts. Guests will be received with enormous generosity.
Here in UAE women work side to side with men.. but there are always limits.. never shake hand with an Emirati Woman – Men and women do not shake hands !!!! I mean yes we are open minded and generally cool, but it’s against the religion and the culture..
