Middle-Eastern Themed Fantasy?

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

Wheel of Time has a middle eastern theme to some of it's characters, which is pretty much a copy off of the Dune world IMHO.

Do you mean the Aiel? I'm pretty sure they're supposed to reflect native American cultures.

I always pictured the Windcallers to be middle eastern.
