Cultural Insight: Giving Directions in Arabic

In Arabic-speaking countries, giving directions often involves using references to landmarks or major streets instead of specific distances. When asking for directions, be prepared to hear descriptions like بجوار (bijawar) (next to), على اليسار (ala yassar) (on the left), or بعد (ba’d) (after).
