There is one form of arabic known as Modern Standard Arabic or Fusha. This is the form of arabic you generally find written.
Each country then has its spoken dialect and although there are similarities between some countries there are also differences between them and frequently within the same country as well.
Very occasionally you will come across material written in a dialect but most printed material is MSA.
