الشمس في الشرق الصبح.

A rough Egyptian pronunciation is:

esh-shams fi sh-shar' es-subh

A few notes:

• الشمس is usually pronounced esh-shams
• الشرق is often pronounced esh-shar' in Egyptian, because ق is commonly pronounced like a glottal stop
• الصبح is pronounced es-subh

The exact vowels can vary a little by speaker and region.

In Arabic, the present-tense to be is usually not said in simple sentences like this.

So instead of saying something like The sun is in the east, Arabic often just says:

الشمس في الشرق

Literally, that looks like the sun in the east, but it naturally means the sun is in the east.

This is very normal in both Egyptian Arabic and Standard Arabic.

Because the first letters of those words are sun letters.

In Arabic, when ال comes before a sun letter, the l sound is not pronounced. Instead, the next consonant is emphasized or doubled.

So:

• الشمس is pronounced esh-shams, not el-shams
• الشرق is pronounced esh-shar'
• الصبح is pronounced es-subh

This is a pronunciation rule, not a spelling change. The word is still written with ال.

في means in or at, so في الشرق describes a location.

That fits the sentence because it is saying where the sun is.

If you wanted to say that the sun comes up from the east or rises in the east, you would normally use a different structure, such as:

الشمس بتطلع من الشرق

So:

• في الشرق = in the east
• من الشرق = from the east

They both have ال, which makes them definite.

That makes sense here:

• الشمس = the sun
• الشرق = the east

In Arabic, directions like east, west, north, and south are very often used with ال when talking about them as known places or directions.

So الشرق is the normal way to say the east.

Here, الصبح means morning or in the morning.

In Egyptian Arabic, الصبح is a very common everyday word. Depending on context, it can suggest:

• morning in general
• early morning
• around dawn

In this sentence, it is simply marking the time.

Because in Egyptian Arabic, time words are often used by themselves without a preposition.

So الصبح can naturally mean:

• in the morning
• this morning, depending on context

English needs a preposition here, but Arabic often does not.

You may also hear في الصبح, but الصبح by itself is very common in speech.

Arabic word order is more flexible than English word order.

Putting الصبح at the end is a normal way to add the time after the main statement:

• الشمس في الشرق الصبح

It is similar to saying:

• The sun is in the east in the morning

You could also move the time expression earlier for emphasis, such as:

• الصبح الشمس في الشرق

But the original order is understandable and natural enough as a basic sentence.

It is understandable, but many native speakers might say it in a more natural spoken way depending on what they want to emphasize.

For example:

• الشمس بتطلع من الشرق الصبح = the sun rises in the east in the morning
• الصبح الشمس بتكون في الشرق = in the morning, the sun is in the east

Your sentence sounds like a simple textbook-style description, which is useful for learning structure, even if real speech might use a verb more often.

They are closely related, but they are not used in exactly the same way.

In Egyptian Arabic:

• الصبح is the common everyday spoken form
• الصباح sounds more formal or more like Standard Arabic

So in casual Egyptian speech, الصبح is usually the more natural choice.

For example, an Egyptian speaker is much more likely to say الصبح in everyday conversation.
