That is not entirely true, unless you want it to be obvious you are a foreigner who has no knowledge of Egyptian Arabic. The most common way to greet someone is by saying 'Iz-za-ac' (mas.) 'Iz-za-ic' (fem.) meaning how are you, but the most popular greeting in Egypt. Egypt has their own dialect so knowing standard Arabic will not be very popular to say.
The most widely spoken language in Egypt is Arabic. The greeting for 'hello' in Arabic is 'Salem Ale Kum'.
