Another one to look for is Sport in Egypt by James Wentworth Day. It does contain some useful English-Arabic phrases such as:

Shut up, you son of sixty donkeys. - iskut ya ibn sitteen homar.

Did the pellets get you in the leg? - El rush gey fi riglak?

I am an English Officer - ana zabet ingleezi.

He had been eating beetles. - huwa kan biyakul khunfis.

All very useful bits to know. Lagopus..... p.s. an Arabic speaking friend did confirm the correctness of the above.
