What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Bahrain?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Bahrain if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be respectful of Bahrain's culture and customs when visiting the country. It is considered impolite to show public displays of affection, so it is best to avoid kissing or hugging in public. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. It is also important to be aware of the local customs regarding food and drink, as some foods and drinks are considered taboo in Bahrain. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of the local language and to avoid using profanity. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and to avoid engaging in any activities that are illegal in Bahrain," said another expat in Bahrain.
