Language

Language is a huge issue in any country you  visit.In some countries were no one knows your native language getting things done proves difficult.In Egypt the official language is   Arabic, a Semitic tongue.But don't worry ,most educated people speak French and English so Americans won't have a to difficult time getting around but the language barrier plays a huge role in how you do business.Most signs will be in Arabic so a simple task like driving is almost impossible.I would recommend anyone going to Egypt learn some basic words in Arabic.It really helps,for instance, knowing bathroom or toilet. It can really help when you've got to you know go.

      In addition to speaking Arabic, in Egypt they write in Arabic.This is were it gets confusing .Arabic is  unique. It is the only language ito my knowledge that reads backwards.Below I have written something in Arabic

 As you can see in Arabic they write and read backwards.So next time you plan on moving to Egypt stop and think about the huge language gap you will face.
