If they eat like quite a few Mid-east countries I've been in there's a trick/pattern. You rip off a piece of flat bread and use it as your silverware. Most of the meals I had went like this -

Dip into the falafel, use that to stick the rice/couscous to the bread and than remove a piece of meat from the skewer.

This was mostly in Turkey, Greece, Israel and Saudi Arabia at mostly backstreet places. The fancy restraunts still had normal flatware.

I learned this growing up in Detroit eating at Greek and Mideast places.

One thing to know is if your host is Islamic. If so remember to not use your left hand. Now I have seen many who do so I don't know how much this is enforced.
