I'll have to reply to any answers later as i'm off out :)
Sounds a bit like the Scottish "ch" sound (Loch, ach, Murdoch etc)
If you mean a type of uvular fricative then it's a sound achieved by placing the back of the tongue on the rear of the palate (as far back as you can get it) and then trying to pronounce the "ch" as in loch. You should hear a sound coming from deep in the pharynx. I can't speak Arabic to save my life, but I can do a passable and reasonably authentic sound by doing this :-)
Try this, at 1 minute 30 seconds

imagine you have something soft stuck in your throat.
