Format:Paperback
This is the BEST Egyptian Arabic phrasebook you can buy. This little book is crammed full of useful words, phrases, grammar and a very useful two-way dictionary. I have The Rough Guide's Egyptian Arabic Phrasebook as well and THIS ONE is far better by miles. This book is ideal for beginners as well as intermediate learners of Egyptian Arabic. This book is a must and at such a small price is DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY!

This is an excellent little book. Don't be misled by its diminuitive size it is a 'Tardis' of information, words and phrases. Instantly usable by beginners and the more experienced foreigner to Arabic alike. Very good value for money.

This is a really useful little book. It's a very handy size, fits in a small bag on a night out. It has some interesting (if a little odd) topics, and has a useful section on pronunciation at the front. I would say that there isn't much in the way of informal 'local' language. I just moved to Cairo and finding that many of the expressions in the book are quite formal for normal conversations. Definitely a good book to bring on holiday, or as a starter for if you move to Egypt.

Very Useful.
I took this on my holiday to Egypt and it was very handy especially when using the taxis. A lot cheaper then I've seen in big book shops. It was just really great! Thank You.

A good basic phrasebook
It would be useful if it came with a CD (as does the Berltiz Arabic phrasebook) as you do really need to hear the pronunciation of the sounds... Read more

Very detailed but would be more useful with an accompanying CD
This makes for a nice little pocket-guide to accompany a holiday in Egypt, but an understanding of the language is not required in any way as the vast majority of the people speak... Read more
