Arab parents are likely to rage at so many weird things at times, and at others, they're simply confusing AF.

It seems like they prefer traveling by land rather than by plane, even if it's going to take them triple the time and money... ending up paying the ticket price on gas anyway.

Here are 10 things your Arab parents have definitely done during a road-trip:

1. They always underestimate how much time is actually needed to get there

“Ghamdo 3ein w fat7ouha w men koun wsolna” (We'll be there in a blink of an eye) is unofficially declared as the introductory statement of any Arab road-trip.

2. They take 16 million stops before the final destination

Buying all the groceries they don't exactly need... because taking road-trip stops is the Arab lifestyle. 

3. They insist this *one* place has the best coffee

Or manouche', or lahme baa'jin, or cheese... Whatever it is, there is this one spot they have to visit no matter what. 

4. They're convinced they know the way

The driver will take 17 wrong turns before finally admitting they don't know where they are anymore. 

5. And end up NOT asking for directions

Not even from Google maps, the one voice that doesn't lie about actually knowing the way. 

6. They turn up 80's jam really, really loud

Ragheb Alama, Shakira, Fadel Shaker, and Sherine Abdel Wahab are all invited to the party. 

7. "NO PHONES ALLOWED"

They scream at you to get off your phone and suddenly, out of nowhere, a story follows, starting with "when we were your age." *infinite eye rolling* 

8. No water = No pee... so stay dehydrated

You'll definitely get scolded if they catch you drinking water in the car.

9. They refuse to leave a seat unoccupied

They might even invite your 80-year-old neighbor just so there's no space left. "The more the merrier" was definitely written down for Arabs.

10. As always, someone has to complain about the driver's skills

Because it's not a complete Arab road-trip without a complaint.
