the most common one is saying the same "ahlan", the most polite one is saying "ahlan wa sahlan", but it doesn't really mean "hi", it means "welcome" the difference is that "ahlan" could be used as a greeting in arabic.

The literal meaning of the word “Ahlan = Welcome” is you are a member of the family, then we bring the other half of the greeting, which is ”Sahlan =Easy”, and this means that you feel comfortable between us.
”Ahlan wa Sahlan” literally, means feel you’re home.

In Arabic, there is many ways to respond to greetings, so when someone says ”Ahlan” you can respond:
- Ahlan wa sahlan
- Ahlan beka
- Ahlan
