الفطار داخل في السعر؟

You can use this as a standalone question. Just raise your pitch at the end to make it a question. You do not need complex grammar here. If you are talking to a receptionist, just point to the price and say the phrase. It is punchy and gets the job done quickly. You can also swap al-fatar for other services like 'taxes' or 'service charge'.

Use it when checking into a hotel or a bed-and-breakfast. It is perfect for those moments when the price seems a bit too high. Or maybe when it seems too low and you are suspicious! Use it when browsing booking sites over the phone. It is also great for clarifying tour packages. If a guide offers a day trip, ask if the meal is included.

Do not use this at a standard restaurant after you have already ordered. That would be a bit awkward and confusing. They will think you are trying to get a free meal! Also, avoid it in very high-end corporate contract negotiations. There, you would use more formal words like shamil (inclusive). Do not use it if the menu clearly says 'Excluding VAT'.

In many Arab cultures, hospitality is huge. Breakfast is often a spread of beans, cheeses, and bread. Many local 'pensions' or small hotels include this by default. It is a point of pride to feed guests well. However, modern tourism has changed things. Now, 'Room Only' rates are common in big cities like Cairo or Dubai. Asking this shows you are a savvy traveler who knows the local system.

You might hear al-fatar shamil? which is slightly more formal. In the Gulf, they might say al-ryooq instead of al-fatar. Some people might add ya basha (my chief) at the end in Egypt. This adds a friendly, local flavor to the negotiation. You can also ask fee fatar? (Is there breakfast?) if you are just curious about the food.
