Arabic is one of the most widely spoken languages with over 350 million native speakers in the world. It is also one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

The Arabic language would allow you to travel off the beaten track in over 20 countries around the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East, and North Africa with much more ease and convenience.
