Flash it with language pack (08) this contains full arabic support and allows you to write sms set contacts etc in Arabic you can even turn the whole phone interface into Arabic.

Like Jayd said, you can flash it using a specific geographic area code. Use NSS to change your product code to the mid-east region, then update your firmware with NSU. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, it will work.

There are a good number of threads on this subject already, in particular search for anything dealing with 'debranding' and you'll be on the path to having Arabic on your phone in no time.
