Culture Compass United Arab Emirates<\/h4><\/div>Typically Arabic!<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>“Insha’Allah”<\/h3>\n
This ubiquitous expression means, God willing! Our Culture Compass UAE says, it is a basic assumption of the Arabs that man can only move something if God wants it – an expression of humility, which, however, can make every situation seem ambiguous.<\/p>\n
“El Mektub”<\/h3>\n
Literally \u201cthe writings\u201d, meaning \u201cthe destiny\u201d. Muslim Arabs firmly believe that life on earth was “written” in advance by God. Among other things, this has the advantage of increased acceptance of adverse events.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Time is not very important, says our Culture Compass UAE. Agreed appointments are also not in the foreground. Maintaining good relationships is of central importance.<\/p>\n
Hierarchy and leadership<\/h4>\n
Superiors, rich and older people enjoy a lot of respect. At the same time, there is a wide brotherhood among Arabs. They often call the others \u201cbrother\u201d or \u201csister\u201d when talking to them, even if they don\u2019t know them.<\/p>\n
Communication style<\/h4>\n
The communication style is indirect. Harmony, dignity and saving face are highly appreciated values. The context determines the degree of openness.<\/p>\n<\/div>
