The "A" of UAE (4)

I believe the answer is:

arab

(Other definitions for arab that I've seen before include "Saudi, e.g." , "race" , "Qatari or Omani, say" , "Fine horse breed" , "One from the Middle East or North Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Universal, The New York Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
