Saudi Arabia produces 25% of the world's oil and is a member of OPEC. India and Saudi Arabia have economic ties, with India exporting items like basmati rice and Saudi Arabia exporting crude oil. Saudi culture is influenced by Islam, with practices like daily prayer facing Mecca. Strict rules govern public behavior and dress, especially for women who must wear an abaya. Business etiquette requires greeting elders first and avoiding topics like alcohol, pork, women or Israel when meeting with Saudis.
