What is an appropriate gift to give to a Gulf Arab Business man from Dubai that I am doing business with?

  • What is an appropriate gift to give to a Gulf Arab Business man from Dubai, UAE, that we are doing business with? I am a bit stumped. I have one week. And the company I work with has assigned me the task to find a great gift to give to the business man from Dubai that we are going to do business with. Obviously, I don't want to seem like we are rude to him or his company in any way or make any cultural offense. The person we are meeting is rich, busy, and very influential in the fields of printing, plastics and media. He is also Muslim. And loves great racing horses. I am totally stumped, people and really could use the advice. I would love to hear from Muslims out there who could give me an idea what to get. I live in California and we are being flown to Dubai UAE this coming week. Thank you.

  • Answer:

    Buy a high quality book (book of pictures) about the USA or California. You may get the book "Don't they know it's Friday" written by Jeremy Williams. This book is written for the use of Westerners going to do business with Arabs in the Middle East. Good luck.

From our business experience in the UAE, businesses always prompt for a luxury product that could be shared in the office or at home. We had provided a lot of business clients with Godiva Chocolates. They do love chocolates here (especially the women) and with the quality and the luxury that the brand holds on it's own, it reflects your appreciation without being rude. It also reflects that you are providing a business gift that is non-personal (with clean intentions) and is open to be shared to others. You might want to consider visiting our Online Store - The m! Shop www.the-mshop.com and go for the Gold Collection (the most popular in corporate gift giving). The m! Shop is an Online Shop of Moka General Trading LLC - the Agent of Godiva Chocolatier in the UAE. Hope my input helps. Best wishes on your visit to the UAE.

call that date vendor in Palm Springs and have the fedex you some gift-packaged dates , best are Majdol, Barhi, or Ekhlas (aka Khlas) dates. He will appreciate that. Majdol, I think originates from Iraq, it is not produced in UAE, others are. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=palm+springs+date+farms&btnG=Google+Search&aq=1&oq=Palm+Springs+dat
