With so many conferences going on, a few cultural etiquette tips in UAE.
Avoid pointing the soles of your feet towards people, as this can be seen as disrespectful in Arabic culture. This can be especially common when you speak on stage with your legs crossed. Watch out.
Recording someone without their permission is illegal under Emirati law. KOLs can often miss this while recording.
Public displays of affection (PDA) are considered against public decency laws.
Although nowadays, there are so many tourists in UAE, I have never seen or heard any of these being enforced. But itโs always best to respect the local culture and customs. ๐
