In the corporate sector, handshakes are typically used when individuals meet up, but understanding other cultural greetings might help you thrive. For instance, holding hands with an Arab client is normal. Male Arabs use on right hands when doing this and never offer or do handshake with the opposite gender.

It is very normal to shake hands with your clients in business. Also, some people see it as a way of signing a deal or signing an agreement

This should be a cultural thing it doesn't happen here In Nigeria

Nice though but my line of work does not really require shaking of hands. Majority of the times the jobs are usually done through the internet.

Yes I agree with you in that. I was very surprised to hear that It's a criminal offence to shake hands with the opposite sex gender in Middle East. I hope one have to be very careful when visiting those countries.

Shaking hands is considered a great thing. I usually shake hands with people when I enter a business place. I also tend to shake hands with people when I visit any kind of random gathering.
