What happens when you visit a random arab house

 guys here's what i'm gonna do

i'm gonna go to a random stranger's
house and knock on their door thank you enter their home and sit and they cannot kick me out for three days uh welcome to our home uh can i get you some water or coffee for three days they have to feed me let me play with their cat give me water and shelter

and only after 72 hours

they can ask me why i am here why are

you here

and uh how can we help you what you just

saw

may look exaggerated but it's a real

thing

in the bedouin culture you have to treat

guests

for three days in your home before you

can ask them

why they came to visit why are you here

and this rare generosity is why you

should travel

to arab countries for example

take the emirates in this country

there are a lot of arabs who look like

this

the movies make them look unfriendly but

in real life

they are generous at restaurants you

have no chance of paying for the bill

the locals will

always fight to pay on your behalf in

other places people fight because they

don't want to pay

and here they fight because they want to

pay

why just let it be

why are you fighting about him it's

considered

shameful not to offer guests food

that's why you'll see these meals and

these

meals regularly offered to guests

there's a saying in many parts of the

world that the customer is always right

but in this part of the world we say

that the guest is always

first they will also dress you

up like one of them and share with you

their farm produce

this is a lot of food man thank you

[Music]

i'm not saying this as a tourist i know

this because i'm arab too and for all my

life

i did not know why my people fight to

pay

the tradition of welcoming someone for

three days has been passed down

from bedouin culture no matter who you

are no matter where you're from

when we see you you are welcome and you

are safe

[Music]

the truth is my people have a lot of

stereotypes and many of them are true

we do have a problem with women

treatment we do

have a problem with tolerance we do have

a problem

with endless wars but we do not

have a problem with generosity because

no one else would host a guest in their

own home

for three days without question

there are many more stereotypes about us

that need to be broken this is why you need to come visit come visit come visit you will be safe full and satisfied
