Not A Tourist: Arabic Phrasebook (UAE / Gulf Edition)

🇦🇪 Not A Tourist: Arabic Phrasebook (UAE / Gulf Edition)

Speak like a traveler, not like a tourist.

Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Gulf don’t speak like textbooks, apps, or generic Arabic taught in schools.
Here, people use a relaxed, friendly Gulf dialect mixed with English — and the way you speak directly affects how you’re treated.

The Not A Tourist: Arabic Phrasebook (UAE / Gulf) teaches real phrases used in the Emirates, not outdated formal scripts. Short, practical sentences for cafés, souks, hotels, taxis, beaches, and malls — written for travelers who want respect, good service, and honest recommendations.

You’ll sound friendly, polite, and understood — without trying to be fluent.

What You Can Do With It

✔ Greet locals the authentic Gulf way
✔ Order food, coffee & drinks politely in cafés and restaurants
✔ Speak to taxi drivers clearly (very useful in the UAE)
✔ Ask for prices, sizes, help & directions in shops and malls
✔ Handle hotels, check-ins, complaints & requests respectfully
✔ Use polite phrases that earn warmth and better service
✔ Learn local expressions & cultural etiquette (not textbook Arabic)
