Hieratic was a writing system that developed alongside and is closely related to the hieroglyphic system. It allowed scribes to quickly write with a brush and ink on papyrus. It was used in cases where using hieroglyphics would be impractical or unnecessary.

Did the ancient Egyptians write in Arabic?

Most people in ancient Egypt were uneducated and unable to write anything. The small minority of educated people were taught two systems of writing: for almost all of Egyptian history writing was either in hieroglyphs or in hieratic script (which was a simplified version of hieroglyphs). At the end of ancient Egyptian history demotic script was developed, based on hieratic but much more complex. By about 300 AD Coptic script was used - this was simply the Greek alphabet with a few additional signs for Egyptian sounds not found in Greek. The Arabs invaded Egypt in 639 AD, long after the end of ancient Egypt; the Arabs brought Islam and Arabic writing with them and both have been used in Egypt ever since. So ancient Egyptians could not ever have used Arabic writing.
