In many cultures here, you only eat with your right hand, as the left is seen as dirty (its the hand used to clean oneself..toileting etc)

Nearly everyone wears sandals here...too hot for socks most of the time.
When sitting and eating with bear feet, keep soles of feet facing down.

The Emiratis are very welcoming people, so relax and enjoy getting to know the local people and the wonderful culture.
Thanks a lot, this is very informing!

I look forward to discovering their culture. But I just want to know beforehand anything that might be considered insulting/innappropriate that is acceptable in a Western country.
