Middle Eastern Tension ears!

Hi everyone,
This is due Sunday: Here is my track.

TENSION INSTRUMENTAL CUES with some MIDDLE EASTERN flavor are needed by a very successful Exclusive Music Library. These Cues are needed for a specific TV Show, and they need lots of them, so if you’ve got them, don’t be shy about submitting for this!
SUSPENSE MUSIC OF MIDDLE EAST (From 0:00 -1:49)
ARABIAN NIGHTFALL
Please send them Instrumental Cues that create a sense of anticipation. Your pieces can include Electronic or Organic Instrumentation, or a hybrid of both, as long as they have some Middle Eastern flavor. Be sure to structure your Cues around a central melodic theme, while adding and subtracting instrumentation as they progress to create some momentum.
They've told us they "...would love to hear Cues that develop nicely every 4 bars, as long as they don't veer off the theme too much. If you include a "B" Section, don't overdo it!" Keep the changes subtle. Please be sure any Middle Eastern samples/Virtual Instruments you use sound authentic and are well executed.
Quoting the Library's CEO again: "They should also watch to not interfere with narration. Cues that take advantage of low frequencies and percussion to move things along with a good pulse would be optimal."
Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes long and should include a Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger ending. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
TAXI Tip: Please be sure any Middle Eastern samples/Virtual Instruments you use sound authentic and are well executed.
I would love some perspective on this based on the arrangement and mix.
Does it move about every 4 bars... ?
Does it have enough tension...?
Would it fit the listing?
Thanks very much!
Susan
