There are scales which are supposed to sound eastern or oriental.

When discussing this theoretically, however, it is nearly imposssible to replicate arabic music using western instruments.

Their instruments have 24 notes (i think) while ours have 12 notes. There entire theory is completely different from ours. I don't know as much about oriental music so to speak.

However, if you mix in physical technical aspects of music, then a musician may be able to emulate arabic sounds.
