I. General

The egyptian society is difficult at describe, 

It's a mixte between the old Egyptian culture and the occidental culture, adding religion. 

They are very proud of their old culture.

The Egyptian are very warm and friendly when you came in Egypte. 

They are very social, and anywhere if you need help ( same if he speak just some english word) they try to help you. 

For me I think the Egyptian people are very shopkeepers.

II. business relation

If you come in Egypt for business you need to know few point:

1. Keeping classic clothing for an appointment
2. You cannot be late, but a Egyptian can be late but he excused
3. Accept the corporal contact, but not ever made the first move
4. Take your times, the Egyptian like to speak about you and your family 
5. Let the Egyptian speak of the business
6. Express your feeling, the Egyptian are sensitive to it
7. but no dramatized your feeling
8. Be attentive and they will listen too 
9. Have quick and short eyes contact

Caution at few point, when a Egyptian speak:

• They switch the "P" and the "B", they call that the little "b" and the big "b". It's very important because you can understand other words
• They roll the letter "R" it's very difficult sometimes
• They use many french words what you don't use in English

Thank you,

See you later :)
