Dubai has a well-educated society and business culture are also the same as elsewhere in the world. There is the difference that Dubai is an Arab country and therefore there are points you must take into account the business environment.
1. The shops in Dubai placed a greater extent, on the basis of personal relationships and mutual respect than in Europe
2. Most shops are family owned and therefore it is usually the head of the family, which makes the final decision. However, remember the initial meetings, as they help to create mutual respect.
Always remember that although Dubai is very western, it’s an Islamic society, and their behavior differs from the Europeans.
