Your first meetings in the Gulf, arranged in Arabic

In the GCC, relationships come before business. A native Arabic speaker who understands how meetings, trust and timing work there saves you the mistakes that cost the most, and the months they take.

Why it matters

What foreign companies get wrong in the Gulf

Rushing to the pitch

The first meeting is about the relationship. Pushing the deal too early closes doors that took months to open.

Ignoring the calendar

Ramadan, summer and the major events shape when decisions happen. Timing is part of the strategy.

Going in cold

An introduction from someone known carries more weight than any presentation. That is the introduction we make.

Relationships first

Business in the Gulf starts at the table

Dinners, coffee and long conversations come before any contract. These are real moments with partners in Dubai, the kind of trust your first meetings will be built on.
