In greeting my Arabic friends we kiss on the cheek. My friend has explained pending on where you are from your kiss pattern could be different. So I have always copied what my friend from Jordan does. One kiss on the right cheek, one kiss on the left and ending with 2 kisses on the right again. If you are from Egypt what pattern do you use?.

Hi Angel, Sorry for the late reply! Once on each cheek is pretty standard (right then left) but my advice would be to follow the other person's lead.

Let's get you talking in Arabic.

We love Egyptian people and Egyptian culture - from breathtaking pyramids and mysterious tombs to bustling bazaars and mouthwatering kushary! And there's no better way to connect with them than by learning عَرَبِي (Arabic).
