Shopping & Bargaining
Bargaining is part of the culture in the souks — and with a few Arabic phrases, it's even more fun:
| German | Arabic (Transliteration) |
|---|---|
| How much does this cost? | Bikam hada? |
| This is too expensive! | Hada ghali ktir! |
| Can you lower the price? | Mumkin akhass? |
| Last price? | Akhir si'r? |
| I'm just looking | Bass batfarraj |
| I'll take it | Bakhud-ha |
| No, thank you | La, shukran |
