Comparison of Dubai and Saudi Arabia

Mastering the art of cultural negotiations is extremely helpful in conducting business in different parts of the globe.

Over-pumping of ground water also increases ground water salinity, ground water depletion, and ecological degradation (SCENR 5). The outcome prompted the Qatar government to start regulating its water resources as a measure ...
