          Remember#, however,, that the Arab system of friendship balances
     favors against obligations. When favors are asked by an Arab,, never give
     a flat "no$$ because it will signal a desire to and a friendship*
          Touching and holding hands with a@rs of the same sez in public
     in acceptable and demonstrate* friendship. Touching or kissing a @ era
     of the opposite sez in public is considered extremely bad taste and
     obscene.
          ikrabs stand very el*** together when talking. Americans may find
     this uncomfortable,, but should not back away.                       I
          Do not be impatient with the local people. If you huM,, nothing
     will got don** novevert if you arrive too late for an appointment you
     are publicly insulting the individual.                               I
          ilrabs do not accept or give criticism directly. Even constructive
     criticism of an Arabia work or ideas in public is considered an insult.
     it is especially rude to contradict a person or status of a superior in
     rank or age, An Arabss suggestions and ideas should always be given
     recognition* If criticism is required,, take the Arab aside and
     privately and gradually lead up to the subject in an indirect and
     tactful way* American "frankneast' is always too direct and usually
     misunderstood as criticism. Arabs understand and appreciate tact
     because it  protoots public image, avoids insult and displays culture.
          Do not talk down to someone because he doesn't speak English well.
          Do not take pictures of military or civilian installations and
     equipment,  military or civilian police and civilian airport or seaport
     facilities without permission of the host country. A3Lso,, do not
     photograph people at close range (particularly women) without
     permission.
          When asked about a subject,, dontt respond with III donlt know,, but I
ill never be listened to again. Answer,, '$Let me
     show you how to look up that information,," or Ili must see my superiors,,
     come back in an hour."
          Do not initiate conversations with Arab women in public.
          And# finally# when offered food or drink, accept it.
          Remember,, when in someone *lease housaj, act as they would want you
     to, and especially in this type of situation* By doing so* you are
     doing your part to make this multinational effort a success.
