Answer

i think you need to learn the modern standard  arabic better. then you can easily learn egyptian and syrian

Answer

I would learn Modern Standard Arabic. All arabs learned it at school and can understand it. Of course dialects are easier, but they are rarely written with Arabic script in textbooks so you end up learning a language and being an illiterate unable to read and write in that language. That's the option I have chosen, after learning for a while Levantine dialect I switched to Fous'ha or its easier version MSA.
