Hope its a good one. Right to left. “Eid Milad Said” or Holiday-Birth-Happy.
The E in Eid is actually ع and it doesn’t exist in English. It requires pronouncing the ‘a’ in “fat” with the tongue against the bottom of the mouth and from as deep in the throat as possible. Arabic vocabulary is not nearly as difficult as the pronunciation. Say something like “holiday” as “hooliday” in arabic and people might look at you blankly. There are 8 constants like this that don’t exist in English.
It’s funny that before and after this photo, my host brothers and sister were all smiles, laughing, doing handstands against the walls.

What an incredible, one-of-a-kind birthday greeting! It's a treasure - thank you so much. Please tell your "brothers" and "sister" thank you for helping you send it to me.
Love,
M
