Abstract

This chapter is for teachers, researchers, and business professionals who have not spent significant time on the Arabian Peninsula. It covers basics such as learning the Arabic alphabet, starting to understand Islam, and managing Ramadan as a non-Muslim. It also has specific advice on how to cope, for example how to deal with the hot weather, the need for using an international bank, and how to prepare paperwork. The chapter includes information on how to get in touch with people before arrival and how to plan for happiness in-country. It ends with sections specifically for business professionals and teachers. For researchers, there is information about how to create a network of acquaintances, integrate with the local community, decide how to present yourself, and figure out the way to take notes.
