An excellent selection!
A pity I couldn't vote, as this is the region I love. I would have gone for Omar Khayyám as I am rather attracted to Persian poets. A few years back in Iran I visited the tombs of two famous Persian poets and was very impressed by the youngsters that recited poems near these tombs and laid roses on it.

Spoiler:

I'll happily read all, except for Mahfouz of which I read most last year.
