Marhaba, meaning hello in Arabic, is a common word used to greet one another. Sabbah-el-khair is also used, which means good morning. When meeting someone for the first time, it is a comomn practice to shake their hand firmly. Sophomore Sammy Qabazard and Sohomore Omid Shabon (pictured above) greet each other by shaking hands, which is also a greeting that is used for familiar friends. If the two know each other well, they may engage in a hug or kiss each other on the cheek, but only if they are of the same gender. It is not uncommon in the Middle East to see two people of the same gender walking down the street holding hands. |
