Synopsis

"Invest when there is blood in the streets" was not just a metaphor—it was his reality. Against the backdrop of a crucial period in the Middle East, “Don't Stand Under a Tree When It Rains” exposes the dilemmas of investing during the Egyptian uprising and provides advice on dining, bargaining, traveling, praying, and mastering the cultural nuances of working in a foreign country. A mix of “A Year in Provence” and “Adventure Capitalist,” this memoir reveals a unique perspective on Arab culture and on business in an increasingly globalized world.
