Many reading system will only use the first dc language metadata entry = Arabic.
You might want to get rid of all non-English dc language entries.

Code:
    <dc:contributor opf:role="bkp">calibre (2.78.0) [https://calibre-ebook.com]</dc:contributor>
    <dc:language>en</dc:language>
Also note that the Guide section in the .opf file contains the Arabic word for TOC:

Code:
<reference type="toc" title="المحتويات" href="Text/toc.xhtml#calibre_generated_inline_toc"/>
I think you may well be right, I am redoing an ebook for a friend and I added the same meta data as the original and ade started doing the reverse pages spread and yes arabic is the first language listed. Dropping that entry further down the language list has resolved the issue.
