Why are you asking?

It is possible for every Arab to understand the vast, vast majority of all Arabic dialects if he/she knows MSA. Moroccan (which has many dialects like most Arabic countries although all of them are mutually intelligible) and to a smaller degree Algerian Arabic (same story) are the only mainstream Arabic dialects that Arabs not from Morocco or Algeria can struggle with to a certain degree. However for instance this is not the case with the Hassaniya Arabic which no Arab east of Libya has any trouble understanding.

Idk, I had heard many different Arabic dialects weren't mutually intelligible. To what degree is Somali Arabic similar to Peninsular/Saudi one?

Moroccan (which has many dialects like most Arabic countries although all of them are mutually intelligible) and to a smaller degree Algerian Arabic (same story) and Tunisian Arabic (same story) are the only mainstream Arabic dialects that Arabs not from Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia can struggle with to a certain degree. However for instance this is not the case with the Hassaniya Arabic which no Arab east of Tunisia has any trouble understanding.

No offense but your questions are off-topic. Check the topic of this thread out. Arabs have no trouble communicating with each other as almost everyone nowadays is able to use MSA. Arabic dialects can be found in every Arab country and in every ancient historical region in each Arab country. Given the fact that Arabic is the 4th most spoken language in the world and the Arab world is the size of Russia it is a given that dialects will occur as in any other language with such a big number of native speakers and such a big geographic distribution.

The Arabic spoken in Somalia, when not MSA, is of the Yemeni/Peninsula version thus nobody from Arabia will struggle understanding the Arabic dialects of Somalia. Besides it's only the Arab community of Somalia that speak Arabic as their mother tongue. Most others from what I am aware of speak Somali.

Ancient Arabic Dabke music and dances native to Sham (Levant) and Northern KSA.
