Arab countries are the floorboard of more than 20 countries in West Asia and North Africa, and they are a big market with a population of more than 200 million. Arab businessmen have their own unique way of thinking, management and lifestyle, and they are one of the most individual enterprises in the world. Arabs have many rules, and love and hate people clearly. If you want to negotiate business with them, you must pay great attention to the relevant customs.

Arab countries stipulate that there is a double holiday on Thursday and Friday, while China implements a double holiday on Saturday and Sunday. Comparing the two countries, there are only three working days left. It is best to visit businessmen from 9: 00 am to 65438+ 0: 00 pm and from 5: 00 pm to 8: 00 pm, while government departments only work for half a day, so they are careless in scheduling and easy to close their doors.

You must be patient when talking with Arabs. Whether you are a senior government official or a shopkeeper, you must be punctual when dating them, but they are often ten minutes late or even don't come at all. If an Arab puts five fingers of his right hand together and says "Wait five minutes", please be prepared, you will be left out several times, even dozens of times. But it doesn't matter, Arabs will smile and find a lot of reasons to explain, and your pent-up anger will be relieved.

Arabs think it is impolite to talk about business with your mouth open. Even a big businessman can't forget to greet people and offer tea before getting down to business. They usually talk about business casually, and neither side needs to wear formal clothes. Many negotiations will be held in front of strangers.
