Any content book for "Arabia/Middle East" in any edition? My players from Maghreb want to try Warhammer, we think it would be cool if there were some "Arabic" careers, akin to the Kislev ones.

In the (canon) Warhammer World at the time of WFRP, the nearest counterpart area would be the Badlands and probably the upper parts of the Land of the Dead.

You won't find much on the Badlands, and what little there is for WFRP4 would be in Tribes & Tribulations (full of greenskins).

The Land of the Dead is essentially what remains of ancient Nehekhara. At the time of WFRP, it's the stronghold of the Tomb Kings (lots of undead and ancient tombs). Maybe there's some communities of the living still surviving there if you want there to be - your game. Some good background on the area "historically" - ancient Nehekhara before its 'fall' - can be found in the 2E book Lure of the Liche Lord. There's a little (but not much) on ancient Nehekhara as far as it relates to the origins of the vampire bloodlines in Nights Dark Masters too (also 2E).

You won't find any careers for player characters in the official material - you might consider it a blank canvas as far as that goes for creating your own. Lore of the Liche Lord, while mostly a Tomb Kings styled dungeon, has some interesting pieces of lore that may be of use to inform that, including some (minimal) information on the Nehekharan gods.
