Arab nomad of ancient times (7)

I believe the answer is:

saracen

(Other definitions for saracen that I've seen before include "Arab or Muslim at time of the Crusades" , "Ancient warrior" , "British Army armoured people carrier" , "Old Arab" , "Arab fighting the Crusades" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
