沙特阿拉伯礼仪指南

问候与社交礼仪

The Arabic greeting "As-salamu alaykum" (peace be upon you) is rooted in the Quran and has been the standard salutation across the Arabian Peninsula for over 1,400 years. It carries genuine spiritual weight: you are wishing peace upon the other person as a sacred act.

• 「As-salamu alaykum」（愿平安与你同在）是标准问候语，回应时说「Wa alaykum as-salam」。
• 男性之间以握手问候，有时会轻触右脸颊，关系亲密者可能互相轻抱。
• 非亲属男女之间问候时应避免肢体接触，除非对方主动。右手放在心口处并微微点头是一种尊重的替代方式。
• 问候、用餐及递接物品时使用右手——左手被认为是不洁的。
• 称谓很重要。可使用「Sheikh」、「Doctor」，或在对方名字前加「Abu」（某人之父）。
• 热情好客是沙特文化的核心。若被邀请喝阿拉伯咖啡（qahwa）或茶，接受是礼貌的表现。喝够时轻轻左右摇晃杯子即可。

摄影规则

沙特阿拉伯对拍照的态度已越来越开放，但部分规定仍需遵守。 Under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia actively encourages tourism photography and social media sharing. However, privacy and security sensitivities remain, rooted in both Islamic values of personal privacy (the concept of satr) and national security considerations.

商务礼仪

Saudi business culture is built on personal trust. Unlike Western transactional norms, Saudis invest heavily in relationship-building (wasta, meaning connections and influence) before discussing business specifics. This is not inefficiency: it reflects the Bedouin principle that a person's word and character matter more than a contract.

• 沙特工作周为周日至周四，周五和周六为休息日。
• 会议可能晚于预定时间开始——在社交场合中，耐心比守时更受重视。
• 名片用右手递交。若名片一面印有阿拉伯文，将是周到的细节。
• 建立关系至关重要。请预期在正式商谈前会有一段寒暄时间（喝咖啡、闲聊）。
• 决策可能需要时间，避免催促对方立即给出答案。
• 商务馈赠较为普遍，请避免赠送含酒精或猪源成分的产品。
