in the morning:

 

from sunrise to noon

 

• Good morning: صباح الخير (Sabah al-kheir)
• Response: صباح النور (Sabah an-nūr)

There are more colloquial variants on صباح الخير/النور that you can use, like :

 

• صباح القشطة (Sabah il-'ish-Taa - lit. morning of cream)
• 
  your resonse in this case may be: sabah el assal (morning of honey) or you can say sabah el nur .
•  صباح الفل (Sabah il-full - lit. morning of jasmine),
•   صباح الورد (sabah il-ward - lit. morning of rose).
•   They're a little "baladi" (i.e. used more by the rural and lower classes), but you can still use them to add some color to your speech.
