For travelers heading to Egypt
Arabic in your pocket — RTL script handled correctly.
Cove Travel handles Arabic in both directions, including the right-to-left script display. Pack the model before flying, then translate Khan el-Khalili bazaar haggling, Sharm el-Sheikh resort menus, and Aswan dahabiya cruise instructions without roaming.
Three real Egypt moments Cove handles
Khan el-Khalili bazaar haggling
Cairo's main bazaar is haggling theater — first quoted prices are 3–5x real. Cove voice keeps the back-and-forth flowing in Egyptian dialect Arabic without interrupting the rhythm.
Pyramids touts and stable owners
Approaching Giza pyramids you'll be approached every 10 meters by men offering camel rides, tickets, photos. Cove photo translation reads handwritten Arabic price boards so you know what's official.
Nile felucca, sunset, no signal
A felucca sail at sunset — captain wants to suggest dinner spots in his village. Cove voice runs offline; you accept (or politely decline) in his language.
Common Egyptian Arabic phrases
Egyptian Arabic differs from Modern Standard Arabic. Cove handles MSA reliably; for Egyptian-specific dialect (the most-understood in Arab world), accuracy is good for common phrases.
| السلام عليكم | Hello (formal) |
|---|---|
| شكراً | Thank you |
| بكم؟ | How much? |
| فين الحمام؟ | Where's the bathroom? |
| مش حار | Not spicy |
| محتاج مساعدة | I need help |
Why Cove for Egypt
RTL script displayed correctly
Many translation apps mishandle Arabic right-to-left — text reverses or punctuation moves. Cove handles RTL natively in both display and input.
Bargaining without app friction
Pulling out a cloud-app between every counter-offer kills the haggle rhythm. Cove voice runs in 2 seconds and keeps you in the conversation.
Coverage gaps at sites
Inside the pyramids, on Nile cruises, at desert oases — coverage is patchy. Cove model on your phone doesn't care.
Pack Cove before you fly
Free tier covers 5 translations a day. Bazaar haggling will use that fast — Pro is $3.99 once.
