Do you mean, is there data available that has been extracted from the
Arabic Wikipedia? If so, you can find it here:
http://downloads.dbpedia.org/3.7-i18n/ar/

There are currently no mappings available for Arabic: if you can find
some volunteers to help in mapping the templates, I'm sure the team
will be glad to help you get started.

Also, the code has not been localised to Arabic, which is needed to
extract certain kinds of information. I've made an attempt to find the
marker for disambiguation pages. Does the attached patch look correct
to you?
