    Omani Non-Verbal Communication

    Uploaded by

    Leslie Roman
    Oman is an Arab country located in Western Asia on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It borders Saudi Arabia and the United States. The majority of its 4.52 million people are Muslim. Eye contact between men and women should be minimal to avoid misinterpretation. Touching in public is generally only acceptable between members of the same sex with close friendship. Gestures like handing things and thumbs up have similar meanings to Western cultures, but the right hand is preferred as the left is seen as unclean.

    Oman

    Oman is an Arab country


    located in Western Asia
    sharing a border with
    Saudi Arabia. This country
    is home to 4.52 million
    people where the national
    religion is Islam.
    Eye Contact
    Eye contact is preferred when
    having conversations but it would
    be best for a man not to make too
    much eye contact with an Omani
    woman since it is usually
    misinterpreted as flirting or
    romantic interest in the woman.
    When returning eye contact
    during a conversation it is seen as
    having mutual understanding.
    Touching between the same sex
    is allowed, but it is inappropriate
    Haptics if a man and a woman are
    touching in public. You’ll see
    men holding hands but this
    shows that they have a really
    close friendship.
    Gestures

    Whenever the Omani hand each


    other something, they always use
    their right hand because their left
    hand is considered unclean and
    they only clean themselves with
    their left. They also see the
    thumbs up as we do, that it means
    “Good job” or “I approve”
    Overall, men don’t stare at women out of respect for
    them, those of the opposite sex don’t touch in public,
    and their right hand is used most since the left hand
    is considered unclean.
