INSPIRE is Thai inspired more than anything. Brillante is confusing because of its drums but the strings and creepy choir are not common to anything Middles Eastern. The Zither in Don't look back is more Indian than Arabic, however the violin-like parts are reminiscent of arabic music so that's probably the closest to a 'Middle Eastern' song she has come.

It takes more than black eyeliner and baggy pants to make a song "Middle East" inspired. With that said, I hope she does something post apocalyptic in the desert like in Kazeyomi's post.
i don't know if anyone else will agree with me
but i think the closest ayu song to middle east is ourselves
the music,beat and the way how ayu sang in ourselves is so similar to middle east
