When meeting the locals usually it is by handshakes. Only shake with the right hand. Women do not shake hands. This is not not to be taken as offensive, it is UAE culture. Also, do not offer your hand to shake any female family members.
If you are visiting an Emirati family or are invited, it is normal and culture for females to be in a women's mijlis (living room) and men in the men's mijlis.
Etiquette:
Visiting An Emirati's Home:
* Remove shoes at the place where you see other shoes or slippers before entering misjid (Living room)
*When sitting on the floor do not have your feet facing your host. It is considered rude.
*Do not give your host or anyone your back when sitting next to them-it is considered rude.
*When offered local coffee (qahwa) it is normal to be only a third full. You will be offered coffee again unless you say 'Shukran [thank you] and shake your empty coffee cup slightly-this gestures you have had enough. You can drink up to three times which is max. You will keep be offered red tea and coffee. You do not shake the cup for the tea.
Socially in Public:
*Do not make any offensive gestures with your hand or fingers in the UAE or swear offensive words- it is considered a criminal offense.
