1Get used to saying “No”
This tip follows on from the incorrect fact in Tip 4 that all Arabs are permanently grumpy and that you shouldn’t refuse them in case they become furious with that stereotypical anger they’re always portrayed as having in the media. But since we’ve already stated they’re not that mean, you should feel no obligation to politely accept everything they offer you even if you don’t want to. There are a lot of Arabian con artists that prey on Western tourist’s predisposition to not refuse people, so instead of accepting everything just politely say ‘No’. Hopefully these tips will have helped you, all you have to do is follow them and you’ll enjoy your hassle free excursion in the Middle East
