Answer: B - Coffee
Saudi Arabia / Family matters / LGBTQ
Each country views issues of cohabitation and sexual orientation very differently. In Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia where the primary source of law is the Koran, cohabitation and homosexuality are considered illegal.
Saudi Arabia / Social customs / Etiquette
Remember that alcohol and pork are illegal in Saudi Arabia, and that men and women dine separately.
Saudi Arabia / Social customs / Alcohol and drinking
Alcohol is strictly forbidden in Saudi Arabia. You should not expect to have access to alcoholic drinks while socializing with Saudis.
Penalties for the import, manufacture, possession, and consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs are severe, and convicted offenders can expect jail terms, fines, public flogging, or deportation.
Saudi Arabia / Social environment / Social entertaining
The arrival of coffee signals the end of the meal and the evening. A cup should be held in the right hand for pouring. Accept at least one, and at most three cups of coffee. To signal you are finished, shake your cup slightly from side to side, when you are offered another refill.
