Try the following:

DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ar-EG"))

Do you want to get the day name of today's DayOfWeek in a given culture?

DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE"))

("Montag" for germany)

You can get the localized names of days from the DateTimeFormatInfo.DayNames Property:

var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
var dateTimeInfo = cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat;
var dayNames = dateTimeInfo.DayNames;
var result = dayNames[(int)DayOfWeek.Wednesday];
// result == "Mittwoch"
