Greetings

Cheek kissing is very common in Argentina, especially in bigger cities, among and between women and men. People make contact with right cheeks, and make a light "kiss sound" but not touch the cheek with their lips (only once, two kisses -right and then left- is very rare). When two women, or opposite sexes first meet, it is not uncommon to kiss. Two men will first shake hands if they do not know each other, but will probably kiss when departing, especially if they have spoken for a while. Emiraties raise their hands with saying "AlSalam Alaikom" when they want to greet each other. In both countries, the ones who don't know ho to speek the official language he can speek English. When the Argentinian comes to the UAE and wants to greet the people their he can say hi and shake hands the men only, but when he want to greet the women, he only should say hi without doing anything else.
