Business in the Arab World- From The Professional Document Translators @ Amerigo Language Solutions

Businesswomen traveling to the Arab
world should do a little research on the
particular destination country before
embarking on their trip. In general,
however, it is best for women to choose
clothing with hemlines below the knee
and high-cut blouses with sleeves. In
some Arab countries, women are
required to cover their hair while in
public.

Most countries in the Arab world strictly prohibit the
sale of alcohol. Below is a list of countries and their
prohibition status. We urge you to check with the
embassy or consulate of your destination before you
travel, as this list is only intended to serve as general
information, and, as such, is neither intended to be
legal advice nor comprehensive:

Saudi Arabia: Complete prohibition with strict
penalties, including imprisonment and lashes.

Libya: Completely prohibits the importation, sale
and consumption of alcohol.

Qatar: While importation and public consumption or
drunkeness is punishable under Qatari law, licences
are issued for some hotel restaurants and hotel bars,
and foreigners may apply for a permit to obtain
alcohol.

United Arab Emirates: Licensed, non-Muslim
foreigners may purchase alcohol from special liquor
stores.

Tunisia: Bans alcohol except for wine, which
foreigners may purchase in special tourist zones.

Morroco: The consumption of alcohol is allowed
except during the holy month of Ramadan.

Egypt: Does not ban the production or consumption
