Proverb of the day: The ship that departs is better than the ship that arrives المركب اللى تودى أخير من اللى تجيب The ship that departs is better than the ship that arrives
المركب اللى تودى أخير من اللى تجيب El markeb elli be tewaddi akhyar men elli tegib Translation: The ship that departs is better than the ship that arrives Meaning: This almost satirical proverb is still somewhat in use, and may deserve a full comeback. It is akin to “good riddance,” but it offers a more picturesque scene: ships sailing into the seas with undesirable people aboard, while others remain on shore, pleased to see them leave.
