Hello good people. Kindly share tips on how to live in the middle east.
Try and stay out of trouble.
Like, no drinking and driving. No drugs. Be respectful towards locals and others regardless of the situation. Don’t raise your voice, swear or get angry in public.
If you can’t make friends from work then try to get to know your neighbors. Or look for Facebook groups with activities
Edit: adding. Not many expats in the gulf bother to integrate in the local culture. One way is to take Arabic lessons while you’re there. It will benefit you in many ways when dealing with locals (including the police if you ever get into trouble).
