I was visiting my fiance' in an Arab country and as we were going back to take me to the airport to leave, I placed my hand on his leg. He then demanded, what was I doing? and pushed my hand away. Mind you the whole time I was there, we kissed twice and had a quick hug one night. I was there one week. Am I missing something?

It sounds like a cultural thing to me. The thing that seems really odd to me, though, is the fact that he is your fiancee, yet you didn't ask him what the problem was. It seems that if you're planning on marrying someone, you would already be aware of their preferences and cultural differences. There are people who feel very uncomfortable with public displays of affection. And for the most part, Arabians do not favor being affectionate in public. But it sounds to me that you've got a lot to learn about him before you can even consider marrying him.
Also, why didn't he come to visit you? You shouldn't have to go see him. He should see you.
good luck to you

Why are you marrying a Muslim when you obviously know nothing about the culture? What are you going to do after you're married and he has all these expectations of you as his wife and you haven't a clue?
His attitude toward sex and good wifely behavior will depend on the religious sect he's in and the country that he's grown up in. Also, if you intend to live in his country than you'd better be prepared with information as to what to expect or you are going to get a VERY rude awakening. Living in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait is NOT the same as living in America or Britain or wherever you are.
Touching a man you are not married to can be a huge faux pas in some regions. You'd better talk to him and have him tell you how to behave when you are with him.
Living in a Muslim country is COMPLETELY different than living in Europe or USA. You will not have the freedom there that you do at home. DO NOT expect it. He will probably be OK as a husband if you stay in your home country but, beware, if you agree to live with him in his.
