Why can't you smile when you take a taxi in Saudi Arabia?

It is common to go out late and take a taxi to work. It is human nature to smile at the driver when taking a taxi and say a few polite words. But such a thing is absolutely not allowed in Saudi Arabia, so why can't you smile when you take a taxi in Saudi Arabia?

due to local conditions and customs. Every country has its own national conditions, and every country has its own specific customs. It is an open secret that you can't laugh when you take a taxi in Saudi Arabia. Because in Saudi Arabia, laughter is called unfriendly. If you nod and smile at others in public, it is a very disrespectful act, and sometimes it is mistaken for an insult by the other party.

So many friends must find out the local customs when they travel to Saudi Arabia, and never smile at the driver when they take a taxi, as in China. This will be mistaken for provocation and disrespect. Only when you are very unhappy and unhappy will you feel that this is a kind of respect.

I believe many friends will find it wonderful when they see this place. In fact, this is the difference between countries, and we can't understand it, but we must seek common ground while reserving differences and respect local conditions and customs. Here is just a reminder to all the friends. Before going abroad, you must know the customs of that country, especially these taboos.

In fact, this is not a wonderful thing in Saudi Arabia. The most wonderful thing is that there are no cinemas, bars and KTV in this country. Because all recreational activities are forbidden in this country, because this country has always believed in Islam, and there are many taboos for Muslims, so don't go to Saudi Arabia if you want to have fun.
