Little presentation about the traditional culture in Emirates.


I'm going to talk about the traditional culture around the meal times in Emirates.

Firstly, in Emirates, when you arrive, the men say hello by shaking hands and touching noses in same times, the men leave their shoes outdoor and wear a very beautiful white clothes and scarf as it is polite. In the meal times, the men and women are separate because in the religion it's polite. To eat, the men seat down and take the food with the hands. To seat there is an order, you can seat down just after the person before you because it is polite. You should take all the food, glass and other things with only your right hand because with the left hand it's rude. After the meal times, the tradition wants you to drink a coffee and if a other person arrive and the carpet is full you give your seat as it's polite.
