Welcome Tareq

Getting into astrophotography is both pleasure and pain, sometimes the gear just wont co-operate with each other but when it all comes together the results can be very pleasing. Do you have dark skies that you can access easilly, some of the light pollution maps of your area show a lot of skyglow in the area.
As for telescopes, if you really want a triplet apo to start with, a good one would be the 80mm or 100mm or 127mm Explore Scientific scopes. Do you have any telescope dealers in the UAE or would you have to import. The Skywatcher Espirit series is also good value.Also, what camera would you be using to image with.
Others may add more brands, of which there are many, as you probably know if you've been window shopping online already.
Good luck with your ventures in imaging, it can be fun.
