According to the findings of this research, the communication patterns that emerge as a result of interaction between different cultures might be useful in the process of adaptation, but their use is contingent on the degree to which crocodiles differ from one another. Researchers also provide new knowledge for Indonesian students from Banten, the community, and also further researchers regarding the adaptation process of Indonesian students from Banten in Egypt. The recommendation that stems from this research is that before entering a new country that has a culture that is different from Indonesia's, it would be better to prepare yourself first. first of all, you need to be in good physical shape, have some familiarity with the nation that you plan to visit, and most significantly, you need to be psychologically robust.
