Find the right word, in the right script

Looking for an Egyptian Arabic dictionary that actually works the way you type and speak? Most Arabic-English dictionaries are built for Modern Standard Arabic, not the Egyptian Arabic people use every day. Yalla Habibi is built specifically as an Egyptian Arabic dictionary and translator, matched to real, spoken Egyptian expressions.

Whether you're searching for an Egyptian Arabic translator for travel, an Arabic pronunciation guide, or a Franco-Arabic dictionary that understands how people actually type Arabic in Latin letters, Yalla Habibi covers it in one app.

Why a dedicated Egyptian Arabic dictionary matters

Egyptian Arabic isn't the same as Modern Standard Arabic or the Arabic taught in most language courses. Words, pronunciation, and everyday phrases differ — and a general Arabic dictionary often misses them entirely.

That's why Yalla Habibi was built as a dedicated Egyptian Arabic dictionary: translation, script, and native pronunciation, matched specifically to how Egyptians actually speak.

Look up a word, see how it's spelled in Arabic script, and hear it pronounced correctly — all in the same search.
