Customer Reviews

so much useful information in such a small book
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!

best of its kind
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.

Egyptian Arabic
This book again is extremely good,anything from the lonely planet orginisation speaks for itself,although now I go only to Egypt for holidays I used to when younger traveled to many places and have used their books on many many occasions,this book explains the subtle differences between standard arabic as used in say Morroco or Saudi and I would recomend it to anyone going to holiday in Egypt
