Business Over Qahwa And Coffee

‘‘Patience, proper planning with preparation, and understanding the dynamics are some of the most important virtues of doing business in the Middle East.’’

The book is an acknowledgement of the countless situations encountered while transacting business in the region, keeping in mind an important but often less considered aspect of cultural awareness and perspective to be successful in the endeavor.

Through firsthand accounts, the author shares key lessons, practical insights, and a clear sense of what to do—and what to avoid—when working across cultures.

More than just a personal narrative, the book offers a unique lens into the intricate cultural landscape that shapes business practices in the Middle East, especially in sales. It serves as both a guide and a reflection, helping professionals appreciate the value of perspective, patience, and relationship-building in a region where understanding the unspoken often matters as much as the deal itself.
