Good Middle Eastern music

[LtPage1]

Anyone know any good middle eastern-type music? The only place I've been exposed to it is in movies, Moroccan restaurants, etc. Watching this video reminded me that I don't have any- the music plays in the beginning and the last :30 or so. video

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but try Arash - Boro Boro.

Find a piano. Learn the Arabic scale. Moan a bit. You've now heard every Arabic song ever.

Find anything by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He was predominantly a singer of Qawwali music (from the Sufi sect of Islam). He was an incredible musician.
And anything by Mohammad Reza Lotfi (setar and tar player) and/or Mohammad Reza Shajarian (a vocalist, perhaps commonly performing the kind of music DangerAardvark is referring to).

Both from the Indian subcontinent, not the middle east.

Middle Eastern type or Arab pop? I can help with the latter...

LOL I laughed. Thanks for all the suggestions, guys- I've tried a few already, and am pleased so far.
