Lo normal al saludar en cualquier parte del mundo es estrechar la mano de la persona a quien te presentan y si es una reunión familiar, quizá dar un beso, dos o tres, según la parte del mundo en la que estes.
Este sistema en Kuwait no funciona;
Si eres mujer y te presentan a un hombre con disdasha y pañuelo no le des la mano. No debes tocarle. Lo mismo que si te presentan a una mujer con velo. No debes tocarla. Pero si ves que te extiende la mano por supuesto que has de tomar lo que te ofrezcan. Esta confianza solo la lograrás con el paso del tiempo al volver a ver a las personas. Ojo entre ellos si se besan, pero esto os lo cuento unas lineas mas abajo.
Si eres hombre y te presentan por negocios a otro hombre con disdasha si debes ofrecer tu mano, pero espera un poco a ver su reacción. Siendo un hombre, jamás hagas el amago de acercarte a besar a la mujer con pañuelo o velo o extenderle la mano. Los hombres no deben tocar a mujeres que no sean su mujer, hermanas o hijas según dicta su religión pero lo mismo que para el caso de la confianza irás viendo si surge ese acercamiento con los hombres y mujeres con disdasha o abaya. Pero lo normal es que nunca beses a una mujer con pañuelo en la cabeza.
En resumen, a los hombres Kuwaities vestidos con disdasha y a las mujeres kuwaities no las toques.
En estos paises es muy normal besarse en ambos carrillos. Los kuwaities besan en ambos lados de la cara y si te tienen mucho aprecio con el segundo beso rebotan en tu cara y te dan unos cuantos mas, así un lado, el otro y se quedan en el segundo dandote un para de besos mas y diciendote que Alá te bendiga..... Si logras esto con una mujer Kuwaití (jamás con un hombre) entonces eres muy querida o pareciada en su familia.
En Líbano se dan tres besos y en Egipto dos como en España. Y también puede haber rebote.

| Su Majestad el rey de España con mucha confianza con el Emir de Abu Dhabi. Kiss and shake hands |
Typically when greeting anywhere in the world you shake hands with the person and if you have a family relationship or you are very close , maybe a kiss, two or three, depending on the part of the world where you are.
This does not work in Kuwait;
If you are female and you are presented to a man with disdasha do not offer your hand or try to kiss. You must not touch him. Such as in the case of a veiled woman. You must not touch her. But if you see that he/she extend the hand of course you have to answer back.
If you're male and you are making business to another man wearing disdasha offer your hand, but wait a bit to see his reaction. Being a man, never kiss the woman with headscarf/veil. Men should not touch women other than his wife, sisters and daughters as dictated by the muslim religion but as for the case you will see if there is confidence that approach to men and women with disdasha or abaya. But usually never touch a woman with a headscarf.
In summary, the Kuwaiti men dressed Kuwaiti disdasha and women wearing abaya do not touch.
In these countries it is very normal to kiss on both cheeks. The Kuwaiti kiss on both sides of the face and if you are very much appreciated with the second kiss they will bounce off your face and give you a few more, so one side, the other and stay in the second giving you a pair of kissing and telling you something such as Allah bless you ..... If this happens you with a Kuwaiti woman (never with a man) then you are very dear in their family.
In Lebanon there are three kisses and two in Egypt sucha as in Spain.

Buen blog,una consulta,si tengo que saludar a un funcionario de Kuwait (Embajador por ejemplo) por primera vez que hago?. Si la charla es amigable e inclusive se cierra un trato o negocio como es el saludo de despedida?
