not that I know of, most arabic music, except Andalucian Algerian and Morrocan music uses quarter tones. A lot of arabic music is transmitted orally. the one that is written uses regular notation with special flat and sharps characters to indicate the quarter tones. Here is a site for traditional Andalucian Algerian music (in french) , this music is transmitted orally, but some scholars have started doing transcriptions in regular notation, but bear in mind that the transcriptions are only an approximation as each region and musician has their own way of interpreting the music.
