Arabic is massive, particularly single characters and more Internationlise terms. There are 25 countries with Arabic as the Official Language. Furthermore, the script and some vocabulary is used in Farsi and Urdu. Farsi is used on Afghanistan and parts of central Asia, whilst Urdu is the Official language of Pakistan and used extensively in India. With the Arabic script there is no reall ccTLD competition and an Arabic equivalent of dot eu is years away. Good Arabic domains will be worth a lot of money, there are, however, a lot of variants out there and I am not at all clear what value US Overture is especially in view of the fact that Yahoo has only recently indexed Arabic for search. My view is that reasonable certainty over the translation combined with a good Google figures is probably worth more.
