意味
To reach a destination at the scheduled moment.
文化的背景
In social settings, arriving 15-30 minutes late is often expected and considered polite to give the host extra time. Arriving exactly 'في الوقت' might surprise people. In the business world, punctuality is becoming extremely strict. However, in traditional 'Majlis' gatherings, people come and go over a period of hours. Traffic in Cairo is a legendary excuse for not arriving 'في الوقت'. It is so common that 'الزحمة' (the traffic) is accepted as a valid reason for almost any delay. There is a strong influence of French administrative culture, so 'يصل في الوقت' is very important for government and bank appointments.
The 'W' Rule
Remember that the 'Waw' in 'Wasala' disappears in the present tense 'Yasilu'. This is a key rule for many Arabic verbs starting with 'Waw'.
Don't say 'On'
Avoid saying 'على الوقت' in formal writing. Stick to 'في الوقت'.

The 'Insha'Allah' Factor
If someone says 'I will arrive on time, Insha'Allah,' it might mean they will try, but they aren't 100% sure!
