What's the difference between Middle Eastarn Arabic and Egyptian Arabic? I'm thinking of taking lessons but I'm not sure which to choose.

Which is more widely spoken? Does a speaker of one form of Arabic understand someone speaking another form of Arabic?

Hello,

Maybe someone else can expand on this for me. I recently heard that there is something called "Modern Standard Arabic". This is more of an "official" language (regional dialects not withstanding). But supposedly someone familiar with this MSA
could supposedly travel throughout the 20  some Arabic speaking nations and be able to communicate.  One thing I've been listening to that teaches this MSA is ArabicPod101.com podcasts (available at their website as well as iTunes Store). So, that is someting to consider.

the beautifull thing about arabic is that you can always use the formal old way .... "i mean not the slang language" and its understood all over the arab countries
in this way i can comunicate with people from Marroco Egypt , Syria , Yemen , UAE , Saudiarabia , and all the arab world very easily

They are both diffrent dialects. Useully all Arabs unterstand all dialects except the countries from North west Africa for example Morroco.
