Convert the URL into [IDN format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name) and ping it `http://xn--ngbrx4e.xn--mgbaam7a8h/` — Dave Chen, Aug 26 '16 at 05:00
display : Ping request could not find host http://xn--ngbrx4e.xn--mgbaam7a8h/. Please check the name and try again. — Ramin Farajpour Cami, Aug 26 '16 at 05:01
Ping without `http://` and `/`, just `xn--ngbrx4e.xn--mgbaam7a8h`. — Dave Chen, Aug 26 '16 at 05:02
Yeah, if you just want to see if the website is up, just use `print_r(get_headers('http://xn--ngbrx4e.xn--mgbaam7a8h/'));` — Dave Chen, Aug 26 '16 at 05:05

You can use idn2 tool.

(arth@arth ~) > idn2 'عربي.امارات'
xn--ngbrx4e.xn--mgbaam7a8h
(arth@arth ~) > nslookup $(idn2 'عربي.امارات')
Server:         127.0.1.1
Address:        127.0.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   xn--ngbrx4e.xn--mgbaam7a8h
Address: 79.98.120.105

(arth@arth ~) > nmap $(idn2 'عربي.امارات') -p80
