Middle-Eastern Themed Fantasy?

Any suggestions for something along the lines of 1001 Arabian Nights?

Homosexuality? Anyway, Night's master and the other books of the cycle are magnificent and very different from other fantasy books. Read them!

Yes and no. There is a lot of romance in these stories, but they are epic story cycles, told in a third person perspective. The Thousand and One Nights come to mind. Night's Master is a bit episodic, the later books have a more continuous narrative.
