actually place their hands on their heart to show genuine respect and humility.
Sometimes, this is used in combination with a small bow, meaning thank you.
 The Chin Scratch - Scratching or holding of a chin or beard is an indication that
someone is thinking. It might be wise to wait until the person has finished thinking this
before continuing talking, if it takes place during a moment of silence.
 Kissing - Friends kissing each other on the cheek is considered normal and not linked to
homosexuality. It is a sign of friendship, and it is common amongst male friends.
 Kissing the shoulder - This is another greeting and usually one of respect. It is often
used when Muslims go on the Hajj to Mecca.
 The hand hold - Holding hands even for a long period after shaking hands is common
place and a sign of friendship
 The hug - If a hug is initiated by an Arab, then it is a sign that you are considered a
trustworthy friend.
