brsteeg for bartys gamda bardo ..

for bartys & WEDEINGS!!

to be honest with u, I can't pick a favorite, since "Kolohom aw7ash men ba3d"

The thing that I don't understand, and that really irritates me is why people insist on putting signs in english in egypt. I mean it would be perfectly normal to have an ARABIC ONLY sign, wouldn't it? especially if we can't spell..

hehehe, I'm in the sign business & misspell signs ALL the time.

I've made many Cree/Dene(Native American) & Inuit(Eskimo)language signs , not knowing these dialects & the characters I'm sure I've made some silly mistakes myself!

I hate to imagine what would happen if I tried Arabic! It looks much more difficult! Perhaps I would cause an international incident?!?

I feel sorry for the "Party & Wedding" shop. That's an expensive sign & can't easily be corrected!
