@arifharoonkarim is right - maybe you need to re-install Arabic version of InDesign - or at least reset cache and preferences?

Thanks gus, reinstalled and it's now showing all the settings.


I assumed the right version would be installed by default since the setting was right in the CC app but had to manually do it.

Can you post a sample INDD file - just in case, for others to quickly diagnose the problem.
