 == ""the Arab land"" ??? == 

 Φιλαράκοι, ἀρκαδασλάρ μου, «ἡ Ἀραπία» σημαίνει «Arabia» ἢ «the Orient» σ’τὰ αγγλικά... No really, even if you think of the word “Ἀραπιά” as being reminiscent of a plural neuter (which it is not), it would still only render *“the Arabias” in English (in the same style as people used to refer in the past to “the Indies”). However, “Ἀραπιά” is NOT a plural, it is a feminine singular and it means the same thing as “Ἀραβία”, namely, “Arabia”. And to make things clear the English word “Arabia” does not refer to a specific country, but to the whole Middle Eastern region (except for Turkey, Cyprus and Iran), and that includes  Egypt and Northern Africa to which the word seems to sometimes allude. If you don’t like “Arabia” you could also alternatively use “the Orient” which would more faithfully translate the feeling and intent of “Ἀραπιά” as opposed to “Ἀραβία”. However, arkadaşlar, “the Arab lands” makes no sense in any language and it looks terribly stilted."
