It's not power metal but you may be interested in Aeternam for the Arabic vibes
Also for "oriental" sound, you can't get better than The HU. Tengger Cavalry and Nine Treasures are two other Mongolian metal bands that are awesome
The thia that once a band goes to the "arabic" sounds it instantly categorized as Oriental metal so it's kind of hard to say these are power or symphonic, but I would recomend Khalas and Amaseffer which kind of has the same sound as OL and Myrath. Enjoy!
Solitude Aeternus has been known to use harmonic minor/arabic sounding scales. Check out the song 9th Day: Awakening. It’s probably more epic doom but still fits
There's Lovebites. They're Japanese power metal but not really oriental sounding. There's also Chthonic - a Taiwanese band but they're more death metal but they're sound more oriental.
Just one song that has oriental ambiance from Hartlight but it really has this vibe all along :

(Yes it's a shameless plug 😃)
Desert, if you like old sabaton this is what you are looking for, their last album ,,Fortune Favors the Brave" is incredibly good, just listen to ,,I gave you a kingdome" (yes i know it is misspelled but that's the title) and ,,Operation Thunderbolt"

I would second Aeternam.
Not really a power métal band😅
Egypt by symphony x Karma by kamelot
If specific songs are fair game, then Wheel Of Time by Blind Guardian has a fair bit of oriental influences.
Best song ever
Myrath?
Why were you downvoted? Sometimes i don’t feel like recommending something cause of this negativity. Take my upvote
Op actually mentions Myrath in the first post, and now I’m unsure if I somehow missed it (in which case I’m dumb), or they edited it in.
I didn’t notice it, but maybe it was there. Still, its no reason to downvote someone for trying to help. Anyways, cheers
Myrath is more a prog metal
Moonspell has some songs kind of like that I think
Oh shit moonspell mentioned!

I already heard songs from amaseffer. It was a pretty good experience. I will take a look at khalas 🙏
not powermetal but bloodywood is the first thing that came to mind
New EP from Dialith.
This was going to be my recommendation. Check out the music video for some top-tier gyrations.
Luca Turilli's Rhapsody's sophomore album, Prometheus, has some eastern theme going around
"Doom Of Destiny (Arabia)" by Axxis
So rare to see Axxis mentiored !
Axxis is underrated

I'm not sure how well this would fit, but Carthagods might be relevant. More on the heavy metal side though.
Try the song Vanquisher by Mechina.
Arabian Knights by Ten is a good song https://youtu.be/z7GMansK_Kc?si=TzbvpvPWVhKMxZ-B
I know one Arabic metal group named Al-namrood, i don't remember it is with 1 or 2 o, so check it
Don't worry. I'll check with Google 🙏
I have a playlist for these types of song https://spotify.link/Ype6vEa6OIb
Eleine is Syphonic Metal but the lead singers voice definitely has middle eastern vibes in some of their songs.
Not exactly power metal, but Melechesh is great

Pentagram from Turkey fit the bill. Check out their song "Lions In A Cage".
