This is a fun one to try in the car on the way home when the kids are old enough to know which way is the right way home.
Which Way Should We Go?
Start with a question . . .
”Keef bi-rooH? - How do I go?
And pretend to be confused...
”Shrugs?
Answers in English?
Looks at you blankly?
Be ready for and OK with any response
Repeat by sandwiching your sentence with arabic/english/arabic again or give option answers
”Give options:
da-gha-ree? straight?
wull-lah ya-meen? or right?
wull-lah shmayl? or left?
using your hands to motion the directions

East –
South –

Northwest –
