The Travelers' Guide to Middle Eastern and North African Customs and Manners

This book is essential for travel or living in this region! It is comprehensive and very easy to read! The author does a fantastic job of covering all pertinent areas of interest, such as: empoloyment, social functions, interpersonal relationships, local customs, vocabulary, etc., etc. I have read many travel/preparation books for living, or just visiting this area, and I found this book to be an vital part of my "Travel" collection. It is also a fascinating read for anyone generally interested in this region's culture. It's small enough to be portable on a trip and pretty enough to sit on your coffee table. Don't let this one pass you by! You won't be disappointed!
