My interview based on Middle East culture. Therefore I picked one interviewee by the
name Hassan. Hassan came from Beirut which is one of the big cities in the middle east. I
interviewed Hassan generally on his life experience and cultural traditions on the middle east. I
asked Hassan about how he feels about his life experience and the cultural traditions of the middle
east? How was leadership conducted in the middle east? And what are the benefits of cultural
traditions to the locals of the middle east? Hassan answered all my questions thoroughly, and I
was able to learn a lot on the Middle East culture and traditions as well what people of middle east
usually experience in their lives.
Hassan seemed comfortable with his culture (middle east culture) as I could see satisfaction
on his face. Hassan informed me that their region has many different groups. According to Hassan,
although some groups speak different languages or have different religions, they all have a culture
which they hold on. He told me that strangers should be able to understand their common culture
so as not to offend the Middle Eastern (Hareven Tamara 317). Hassan also said to me that there

are only three religions in the Middle East which are; Judaism, Islam and Christianity. He said that
the three religions each have their own believes which they follow.
Hassan informed me that the dressing in the middle east is different because, in big cities
like Dubai, Beirut or Tel Aviv, both locals as well as tourists mostly wear T-shirts and shorts
during summer. But in case they are to visit any religious site they are required to dress
accordingly. Also in some of the religions in the middle east, both married men, as well as women,
cannot touch people of opposite sex like shaking hands or hugging. Hassan warned me on
discussing politics in the middle east because there is more tension that exists in the region
(Meriwether Margaret 190).
Hassan also told me that most the middle eastern cultures observe hospitality. According
to him, this is a natural habit which partially comes from Bedouin culture, where the harsh desert
conditions implied that the nomadic travellers were every time welcomed in the home as well as
given food, shelter, water or whatever they asked for. Most of the middle east hotels still use this
hospitality tradition in all the services as well as the amenities that they provide (Milton-Edwards
Beverley 230). Also according to Hassan, you cannot find pork in middle east restaurants unless
in tourist site. Majority of the restaurants, as well as grocery stores, follow the Kashrut laws for
Judaism or the Halal laws for Islam. Which means that the meat should be Kosher or be Halal,
which each was having different rules.
