fiogf49gjkf0d SOCIAL HINTS
------------
DOMINANT RELIGION MUSLIM.
SOCIAL LIFE TENDS TO BE INFORMAL AND QUITE RELAXED. LOCAL
CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS SHOULD BE RESPECTED, AND CASUAL
BUT CONSERVATIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN. SMOKING IS USUAL
AND ALCOHOL IS AVAILABLE.
THE SYRIANS TAKE AS MUCH PRIDE IN THEIR MODERN AMENITIES
AS IN THEIR UNIQUE HERITAGE AND IN THE TRADITION OF EXQUISITE
CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND BOTH SHOULD BE APPRECIATED.
HAND SHAKING IS CUSTOMARY AT TIME OF MEETING & ON DEPARTURE.
BUSINESS HINTS
--------------
BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED IN A FORMAL MANNER AND SMART SUITS
ARE RECOMMENDED. IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
WELL IN ADVANCE AND TO HAVE SOME BUSINESS CARDS WITH YOU
AS THESE WILL BE EXCHANGED. ENGLISH IS SPOKEN, BUT IT IS
ADVISABLE TO HAVE AN INTERPRETER OR COLLEAGUE WHO SPEAKS
ARABIC.
