Please put a link of your favorite songs that fit this.. It doesn't have to be FROM The Middle East, and you can decide how much influence is necessary.

I added the "Westernized" meaning the songs use the standard instruments "Western" music uses such as guitar, piano, drums, violins, as opposed to someone like Oum Kalthoum, with quarter-toned instruments instead (oud, saz, etc).

3 Mustaphas 3 (featuring Camel's Colin Bass before he was in Camel) located themselves in Albania (actually they were British), however I think quite a bit of their stuff is more Eastern.

Orange Blossom, a French band:


The whole album Everything Must Change is excellent and so is their follow-up, Under the Shade of Violets.
