Suppose the traveler is a woman?


As a woman travelling to Qatar, I would appreciate it if some of the tips you give consider the female perspective. This section sounds like it is written with the assumption that the traveler is a man. E.g. you say, "If you’re with a female companion, she will be whisked off to join the women." It would be better for you to say, if you are a man, this is what will happen, and if you are a women, this is what will happen.

Also, you say "You should always shake hands when greeting and parting from Arab men. " Is this true also in the case of a foreign woman meeting an Arab man?

Please address these and other issues concerning a foreign woman traveling to Qatar. Thank you.
