When visiting clients in Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar, we always adhere to strict dress codes: Men must wear long-sleeved shirts + casual trousers—even in 40+℃ deserts, short sleeves are forbidden. Women need long-sleeved tops + long pants + muted colors; skirts can’t be above the knee, and spaghetti straps are a no-go. We once saw a female boss pose with Saudi royalty in a short skirt—while some praised her “confidence,” those familiar with local culture knew this was a grave disrespect. Most Middle Eastern countries practice Islam, and “revealing clothing” signals you don’t value their traditions—even if negotiations go well, it sows distrust.  

We also pay close attention to WeChat Moments etiquette: Middle Eastern clients care deeply about their public image. Posting a photo with royalty while in inappropriate clothing humiliates them. Our rule: Check dress codes before departure (e.g., Saudi Arabia requires women to cover arms/legs in public; the UAE is more open but still modest). After taking photos with clients, always ask first if you can post and confirm the clothing is acceptable.  

Respecting local culture is the “key” to Middle Eastern project logistics cooperation. Our advice: Research the target country’s religious and dress customs in advance. If unsure, opt for “conservative business attire”—long sleeves, long pants, muted colors. Making clients feel respected matters more than showing personal style.
