Credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs can be found even in remote places. It is possible to withdraw riyals from foreign bank accounts from ATMs, but a local bank account is needed to exchange currency. Saudis pride themselves on their hospitality, and it is impolite to begin business without engaging in small talk first. In formal meetings it is common to be offered a small cup of qahwa (Arabic coffee).
