In Saudi Arabia, most people greet people with a handshake when outside. If both parties (referring to men) have the same beliefs or are enthusiastic and friendly, put your left hand on the other person's right shoulder, and then touch each other three times from left to right. Sometimes, to show kindness, the host will hold the other person's right hand with his left hand and talk while walking. When exchanging gifts, use your right hand or both hands, avoid using your left hand.
