Are you planning to visit an Arabic-speaking country for Umrah, tourism, or business? Don’t rely only on Google Translate—learning a few essential Arabic phrases can make your trip smoother and more respectful.
Start with greetings:
As-salaamu ‘alaykum – Peace be upon you
Shukran – Thank you
Kam ath-thaman? – How much does it cost?
Travelers should also learn basic polite expressions like min fadlik (please) and afwan (you’re welcome or excuse me). These small phrases go a long way in showing locals you respect their language and culture.
Understanding directions, food names, and emergency phrases (aina al-mustashfa? – Where is the hospital?) can also be life-saving.
Al-Burhan Arabic Academy offers short crash courses specifically designed for travelers. In just a few sessions, you'll build the confidence to navigate airports, markets, and cities.
Learning the language of the people you visit shows humility and builds strong cultural bridges. It also enriches your experience by helping you connect on a deeper level.
