Basic Etiquette

The order of ages must be respected. When an adult enters the room, get up and offer them your seat if there isn't one available. In particular, men are supposed to stand up while greeting women who are carrying infants.
Avoid sitting in any position where your shoe can be seen by someone else. This is regarded as offensive. The same goes for crossing your legs in front of someone.

It is polite to kindly object first when someone offers you something or makes a nice gesture toward you (examples: "You shouldn't have," "That's great, but I couldn't"). You can accept the offer if the person continues to demand. Some Iraqis distinguish between the hands' various uses.

This practice has a connection to Islamic beliefs, which state that washing and removing dirt should be done with the left hand. It shouldn't be utilized for activities like waving, eating, or making an offer. To gesture, touch, or offer something, one should use both hands at once. It may seem too casual to use one hand only, but if you must, use the right.
