When traveling to a new place, it is a great idea to learn a few phrases. The local people don't expect you to be an expert in their language, but they appreciate that you took the time to learn a few phrases.
Here's a list of helpful phrases for your trip to Egypt:
1. Hello! - Marhaba!
2. Good morning! - Sabah el kheir!
3. Good evening! - Masaa el noor!
4. How are you? - Ezayak? (to a male) / Ezayek? (to a female)
