Language
When traveling to the Middle East, Arabic is an indispensable language tool, andTurkey, Iran and Israel are exceptions, these places have their own languages (Turkish, Persian and Hebrew respectively, and Arabic is also the official language in Israel). It should be noted that there are many dialects of Arabic. Although standard Arabic is used in school teaching, in the vast desert, the language of different regions is not even interoperable, which brings inconvenience to communication.
Armenian and Azerbaijani are also spoken in some places.
Maybe you don't know any of the above languages, and you need to communicate in English at this time. In tourist areas, you can consider speaking English to get others' understanding, but the level of understanding varies from person to person; Israel, Jordan and countries around the Persian Gulf, especially the local young people, can speak English. In Turkey, you can try to communicate with people in German, because there are many local people working in Germany.
Like English, Urdu is widely used in the Middle East. These two languages can be considered in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as areas where Indians are concentrated.
