My brain goes straight to Empire.
You've got light cav, heavy cav, and decent weak units. AND - you have the added flavor of Flagellant units throwing martyrs onto the enemies spears to work their unit into a devastating frenzy.
The War Altar of Sigmar could easily be converted to look persian. The mortars could be oil-throwers.
Granted, it may come out looking a little more Maltese than Arabian, but I can't think of a more historical blending of dark ages tech with Arabian influence than the Maltese.
