There are lots of possibilities. It depends upon what type of music you're looking for... classic/traditional, contemporary/in traditional style, or contemporary/current. You can find pop, rap, and other styles of music performed by Middle Eastern artists. Are you looking for something Turkish, Greek, Egyptian, Lebanese...??

Classic/Traditional

Omm Kolsoum/Umm Khulthum (many spelling variations)

George Abdo

Eddie “the Sheik” Kochak

Farid el-Atrache

Mohammed el-Bakkar

Contemporary music in traditional style

Emad Sayyah

Chalf Hassan

Hossam Ramzy

Mostafa Sax

Contemporary/Current

Hakim (very good, popular)

Amr Diab (very good, popular)

Tarkan (very good, popular)

Cheb Mami

Pe-Ko music

Sites for Middle Eastern music (there are audio clips for some tracks can help you find what you're looking for)

Oh my gosh! I am going to a belly-dance class next Tuesday and I've been practicing with a few songs from my collection.

By the way, I like the way Haife Wehbe makes it look so simple! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mebNNtuF...

Among my favorites: Loreena McKennitt: Egyptian Song

Although this one is Egyptian but sure sound like an easy song to practice!
