UAE Doing Business > Entertaining
  • Business entertainment is often lavish.
  • Business entertainment is generally male only.
  • Entertaining takes place in restaurants or hotels.
  • You will be expected to eat a great deal. If you host a meal, you should urge your guests to take second and even third helpings.
  • If you invite someone to a meal, they may not show up or they may turn up with several friends.
  • Do not extend an invitation until your Emirati business colleague has entertained you.
