I know it's already been decided, but actually "Arabian" only corresponds to Arabia (the MidEastern peninsula), whereas "Arab" is an ethnic group extending from Morocco to Iran. It depends where the 'princess's ancestry comes from.

Little Arabian princess

Arabian (zoals in "Arabian nights"), "little" omdat het om een prinsesJE gaat. Succes!

(little) Arabian princess

I'd say Arab or Arabian, but based on the explanation below, I suggest Arabian, which also gives me the impression of something old and mythic, like Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves.
