Amin Maalouf, living in France but born in Lebanon (which is still not Arabia ;)) wrote a great fictional account of Ommar Khayyam's life : Samarkand. I remember adoring it.
ooh, yes, I *loved* Samarkand, and to a lesser extent some of his other books. He even has an unusually-fascinating blog. [or had, at least]. I'd somehow just thought of him as French, despite the content of his books.
