Why Arabs Are Nosy
What do you pay for rent? How much do you earn? These questions are quite standard in Arab society. You can leave your privacy at immigration - Arabs won't shy away from invading your personal details, and sometimes they can take you by surprise with their - arguably- intrusive questions. "The fact of the matter is that we should always judge individuals and not generalize or stereotype. The truth also is that a culture identifies itself from others by its distinctive culture’s customs and habits."
