Default Help needed regarding identification

These arrived recently in a job lot of RAF badges and buttons and I’m trying to work out what they are. Given the Arabic writing on what appears to be either an officers beret or arm badge, I’m presuming that they’re both from the Middle East.

I’m potentially thinking of selling them and would like to try and work out exactly what I have first before trying to figure out a price etc.

Any thoughts or opinions would be gratefully received. 🙂

I would think the dark red patch is Sultan of Oman’s Medical corps

Thanks Michael.

Those were my initial thoughts as well (especially given the relationship between British forces and Oman).

I've tried searching for Omani medical insignia that would match it (including a google image search) and so far have drawn a blank.
