I traveled to egypt on business last year and saw two intreating differences in bussiness first it's important to have informal conversation at the beginning of a bussiness meeting this is because personal relationships are very important in egyptian business meetings american business people start with business right away.second during a meeting in egypt it is common for other to come in the room and interupt the meeting in the united states important meeting rarely have interuptions and it's rude to interupt a meeting in egypt these interuptions aren't rude-they're typical
