The Cultural Environment Facing Business: The Java Lounge - Adjusting To Saudi Arabian Culture

Saudi Arabian culture is characterized by strict religious convictions and ancient social customs. Interactions between males and females are limited, and questions about families are considered rude. Women wear abayas and men wear thobes. Women in Riyadh cover their faces with garhas. While Jeddah is less conservative than other areas due to its port city role. Saudi culture also forbids displays of women's faces, gambling, interest charges, and accident insurance sales, though the government has modified some prohibitions to enable business. However, domestic culture and values are changing due to interactions with foreigners and efforts toward economic growth.
