Starting in iOS 11, you can pass a locale to the reverseGeocodeLocation request. This will return all results in Saudi Arabian Arabic:

let locale = Locale(identifier: "ar_sa")

CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(location, preferredLocale: locale) { placemarks, error in
    // ...
}

For iOS < 11, you have to temporarily changes your app's preferred language to Arabic:

// Switch your app's preferred language to Arabic
UserDefaults.standard.set(["ar"], forKey: "AppleLanguages")

CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(location) { placemarks, error in
    // Remove the language override
    UserDefaults.standard.removeObject(forKey: "AppleLanguages")

    // ...
}

(Pardon my ignorance as I do not know how to read Arabic so I don't know if the result is correct)

I no longer have a Swift 3 compiler but it shouldn't differ too much from Swift 4 — Code Different, Apr 12 '18 at 23:47
