Arabic Traveler Kit: Essential Phrases for Emergencies & Daily Use
Traveling is exciting: new places, new cultures, and new experiences! But sometimes, things don’t go according to plan.
Getting lost, needing help, losing valuables, or feeling unwell in a new country can be stressful, especially when you don’t speak the language.
In Arabic-speaking countries, knowing just a few spoken Arabic phrases can make a big difference. You don’t need to be fluent. Even basic Arabic can help you communicate more clearly, ask for help, and feel more confident while traveling.
That’s why we created the Arabic Traveler Kit, a collection of essential emergency and everyday Arabic phrases, along with a free downloadable worksheet you can save on your phone or print before your trip.
