For some reason Alec Guinness was often cast in non-European roles: among others, he also played the eccentric Brahmin professor in A Passage to India and was almost given the role of Gandhi before Ben Kingsley (real name = Krishna Bhanji) came along.

“...Alec Guinness playing Faisal of Iraq”

And Anthony Quinn playing Auda Abu Tayi

And not one female speaking role.
