Good job! i don't think they speak English well but you can get by by saying something like "fire" or "doctor".

SPECIAL SERIES: TOURISM AND SUMMER TRENDS: Inefficient ambulance response plagues North Coast vacations
By Safaa Abdoun First Published: August 12, 2008
...Starting from July 22 this year, 50 new ambulances are now spread in stations throughout the Cairo-Alexandria Highway, Wadi El-Natroun Highway and North Coast Highway, noted Sultan.
These are 50 out of 1,213 ambulances to be stationed throughout this year in different parts of the country, mainly highways, such as the Ain Sokhna and Sharm El-Sheikh Highways. “They are highly equipped with the latest medical technology and will arrive at the scene of an accident within eight to 10 minutes after they are contacted,” he added.
In addition, Minister of Health Hatem El-Gabaly has recently announced the launch of helicopter ambulances for the first time in Egypt. There are currently two of them, the first located in Cairo, available for highways and ring-roads in Cairo, Giza, Qalioubiya, Sixth of October and Helwan. The second is in Suez and will be available for highways leading from Cairo to Ain Sokhna, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El-Sheikh.
