    When you are in Dubai, you must be careful while using your hands. You must never use your left hand to eat, greet anyone, open doors, and hand over something, especially food items, to someone in Dubai. Why do you ask? The reason is that in countries such as Dubai, India, etc., the left hand was used to clean up before the advent of toilet paper, toilets, and flushing water. Hence, it is considered unclean even today, no matter how clean your left hand is. It is, however, okay to drink with your left hand. So, if you are a left-handed person, you must try to be as ambidextrous as possible in public to avoid offending and earning a rude stare from the locals.<\/p>\n
