A little Egyptian Arabic Treasure
This book is a little treasure! It has phrases and vocabs for all the important situations and the transliteration makes it easy to follow. The grammar explanations are also easy to understand. I am travelling to Egypt next week and feel like the book has all the phrases I will need in my short time there.

It's very small
It's packed with great information and tips. But print is not that bold so hard to read for me. But only had it a few days and I'm still pleased I got it for my trip to Egypt in 2 weeks time!

Easy to use
Easy to use and find the relevant phrases once you're familiar with the book set up. I like the useful phrases at the beginning. Will see how helpful it is when I visit Egypt this week.

Gut gemacht
Das Buch ist eine sehr solide Sprachhilfe, für alle, die Länder bereisen wollen, in denen Arabisch gesprochen wird. Man sucht sich im Inhaltsverzeichnis das Interessensgebiet und findet dort die passenden Wörter, Redewendungen und Sätze. Ein wenig Grammatik und ein kleines Wörterbuch Englsich-Arabisch, sowie Arabisch-Englisch, runden das Ganze ab. Schön finde ich, daß man alle Wörter nicht nur in Lautschrift, sondern auch in Arabisch geschrieben findet. Insgesamt ein ganz toller Reisebegleiter.

Good for travellers.
The book is really useful for travellers but there's a problem in the sight of students of Arabic language and the problem is most of the phrases are aa'mi Arabic not gramaratically

¡Muy buena guía!
Soy traductora de árabe y puedo decir que esta guía dialectal es una pasada. Muy ilustrativa, pedagógica, completa y fácil de usar.

Muito pequenas as letras no alfabeto árabe
Não é um livro focado para viagens, mas é bom! O único item que acho que deixa muito a desejar é o tamanho das letras do alfabeto árabe egipício.
