I shortened the original thread title which was:

Are Arabic character and or Arabic word domains created using western characters garbage?

Just wanted to know since I did register some like last year. I really don't understand why Arabic Character domains and even Arabic word domains created using western characters (A,B,C,D,E-X,Y,Z) haven't really taken off since ICANN allowed IDN's? One would assume easily that anything "arabic" is Big money just because of the wealth in those countries. Why hasn't it been adopted in areas like Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates? I mean for a culture that takes pride in being "Strict" with it's rules and having so much pride in it's culture (rightly so because of it's rich history) why haven't they adopted the idea of using their language with Arabic characters in the domains they use for their businesses? I mean I understand that Saudi Arabia and the UAE basically want western businesses to come to UAE and Saudi Arabia. So it makes sense that they would want to make it easier for Westerners to easily find their websites since of course most Westerners don't read nor speak Arabic but still why not accompanying Arabic domain to match company domain?

I know there are other IDN's but I have a specific purpose for this thread so I'm leaving this as a separate thread and next will be the Chinese IDN version of this thread.

So let's hear all your comments, opinions from everyone newbies to Guru's and everyone in between. Let's hear your thoughts and views and honest opinion on this topic. Thanks.

Guys you are going crazy over here lol. As weird as it may sound even though I speak Arabic I would invest in 5n.com or 6n.com any day rather than risking it with Arabic domains, too many choices too many risks for me, check @Abdullah Abdullah numeric portfolio for example ... Maybe there is Arabic speaking domainers who are having success but it isn't me so I can't help any more

I dont have Arabic and Chinese Domains but still got bank domain ie BankOfEmirates(.)com...If any bank established in emirates,due think the .com will be there priority if they want to globalize their company services ..?
let's be fair i think your domain is good and i didn't check the sales history before i see the list you mentioned here so we may see it selling to the right enduser

Alfaylat doesnt sound like villas it sounds more like files - villas can be villat, vellat, vilal, velat, vilat, beyot, this is what i mean by too many choices. IMO best thing is to check google keyword planner and see what gets most searches.

rufahia can be rafaheya, rafahia and so on.

Again as you've mentioned depending where you are different dialects factor in thee equation. At the risk of dissing where you are from. no offense. I'm just interested in where "the money" is UAE and Saudi Arabia. Will my domains "work" in these countries or areas? yes or no? honest opinion?
