Arab Time
Arriving 1 1/2 to 3 hours late to any event, regardless of its importance when you are from any middle eastern country. Some instances are more severe, specifically in Saudi Arabia, where Arab Time is standard time and arriving 3-4 hours late for an event is expected. Confusion occurs often for expats and immigrants living in the west.

"Come over at 8pm"
"Arab Time or American Time?"
"LOL, make it 9pm American Time"
