Hi Michto,
The best way to learn Arab music is by ears, I advice to listen to Abdel wahab, everything he has done and to learn it by heart, try to play along with his music.
Every one of us oud players had listened to his music.
If you learn Abdel wahab music, then you have done most of Arabic music.
For me and many other Arab musicains thinks, Abdel wahab is the God father of this music and the he is like the foundation of a house, i.e solid foundation it means a solid house.
Good luck and Enjoy the music.
Adel

This site does not have sheet music but if you want to hear a lot of his music this is the web site to check out. There is a message forum and you could post there as well.
