Product Description
Book Description
The exchange of greetings and courtesies is essential to the rhythm of everyday life in the Gulf Region, and reflects the traditional warmth and friendliness of its peoples. This invaluable book is the fruit of Sir Donald Hawley's thirty years' experience as a diplomat and scholar of the region. Courtesies in the Gulf Area is a complete guide to handling greetings and farewells; "small talk", feast and fasts, formal and family occasions - in fact every business or social occasion the visitor is likely to encounter - with grace and goodwill.
