A colloquial one:

عمي حسن حاش خوش راس خس

And I'm not sure this one counts as a tongue twister; my informant
kept saying it so fast, I finally had to Google it to get it right:

طرقت الباب حتى كلّ  متني فلما كلّ متني كلمتني قالت أيا إسمعيل صبرا
فقلت يا اسما عيل صبي
!

A search on Google will show slight variations but essentially the same theme.

النسخة المصرية :
ستي بثت لي بسبوسة بالسمن و السكر بس يا خسارة طلعت سخنة لسعتني في لساني.
