I have lots of Arabic books in ePub format that I had on my iPhone, but I really want it for Kindle 3

Oh, I can totally understand you in this situation, as I'm Cyrillic-reader and had the same problem with my Sony Reader. I wish somebody had written a good tutorial/guide for dealing with non-latin fonts in Calibre, since it bothers lot's of people.
Unfortunately I can't be specific, since I never owned a kindle, moreover didn't deal with arabic fonts, but I think the algorithm should be similar to what did it for me in Sony Reader.
There is a field in calibre's conversion options called "Extra CSS, located in "Preferences => (Conversion) Common Options".
For sony readers you're supposed to input something like this:
Code:
@font-face {font-family: serif; src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf)}
@font-face {font-family: sans-serif; src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf)}
html {font-family: serif;}
h1 {font-family: sans-serif;}
This will insert reference to the device's internal font's, which in my case supports Cyrillic.
Two questions here:
1) Does Kalibre support Arabic fonts by default. - Not sure here, but I think it does, I read it somewhere that they have an extensive support of all major language groups.
2) where are these fonts located and how can they be referenced on Kindle.
I hope this was any help.
Also, since you've basically need an .mobi output, appropriate thread would be this one:

Maybe somebody can help you more there.
