The work day in the Arab world is usually shorter than the work day in the West, especially for the bureaucratic class of employees, which represents a major percentage of the work force and of society as a whole. Work starts usually at around 8.30 am, and ends at around 2.30 pm. Therefore, people do not usually need to have lunch at work. Instead, lunch (<\/span>\u0627\u0644\u063a\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0627\u0621<\/span>) is eaten at home, and it is the main meal of the day. In this way, meals (<\/span>\u0627\u0644\u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0628\u0627\u062a<\/span>) in the Arab world are different from the West, as most people in the West have their main meal at supper or dinner (<\/span>\u0627\u0644\u0639\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0627\u0621<\/span>). Breakfast (<\/span>\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0641\u0652\u0637\u0627\u0631<\/span>) is a very important meal for families, especially if they have children. Meals differ considerably from one country to another in the Arab world. Each country has its own distinctive dishes. An Egyptian breakfast would typically have cheese (<\/span>\u062c\u064f\u0628\u0646<\/span>), falafel (<\/span>\u0641\u0644\u0627\u0641\u0644<\/span>), bread (<\/span>\u062e\u064f\u0628\u0652\u0632<\/span>) and tea (<\/span>\u0634\u064e\u0627\u064a<\/span>). An Egyptian lunch would typically have salad (<\/span>\u0633\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0637\u0629<\/span>) or soup (<\/span>\u0634\u0648\u0631\u0628\u064e\u0629<\/span>), meat (<\/span>\u0644\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0645<\/span>), vegetables (<\/span>\u062e\u064f\u0636\u0631\u064e\u0648\u0627\u062a<\/span><\/span>) and rice (<\/span>\u0623\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0632\u0651<\/span>) or bread (<\/span>\u062e\u064f\u0628\u0652\u0632<\/span>) and fruits (<\/span>\u0641\u064e\u0648\u0627\u0643\u0650\u0647<\/span>). Dinner would be light, such as sandwiches (<\/span>\u0633\u0646\u062f\u0648\u062a\u0634\u0627\u062a<\/span>). These are only examples and the options are many.<\/span><\/p>\n
