samar tree
I have found several references in the UAE but the picture does not show up for some reason. Farsi Wikipedia has a lot of pictures and info about the tree. It seems that it is known in English by the Arabic name.

: according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesquite the mesquite is only found in North America. It is in the same family as the umbrella thorn/samar/somr tree but it is a different genus and species
