Companion etiquette

The small courtesies that make an evening easy: punctuality, dressing for the room, discretion, and no surprises.

There is less to it than people fear. Be on time or say you will be late. Dress for the table you have chosen — Dubai dining rooms are more formal than visitors expect. Agree the shape of the evening beforehand rather than during it.

And treat the evening as private afterwards. That is the whole of it.
