So playing as the Kingdom of Jerusalem (and Syria, Egypt, and Arabia) and was shooting for the Arabian Empire title when I just saw that you need the Arabian culture (I'm Norman). Any way to work around this?
Empires and Cultures?

If you didn't want to outright cheat, you could have your first born son tutored by an Arab and keep a Normon son as a spare. The Arab son inherits the throne, poof, youre an Arab nation and can make the empire. If you want to revert to Normon simply don't marry your Arab son and try to kill him off so the Normon son inherits. Thats the only thing I can think of.
You can often find Arabs for tutoring in your baron's courts who make excellent tutors for culture changing, or you can marry a catholic-Norman to any Muslim Arab and then re-invite her back to your court and she drags the husband along with her.
Being a Normon emperor of an Arab Empire would seem abit odd tho..

The weird thing here is that the de jure territory of the empire reflects the spread of the Arab people, while the title itself refers to the region Arabia. It is odd to be an Emperor of the Arabs if you're non-Arab, but not that odd to be a European Emperor of Arabia.
The only workaround is basically to mod the requirements in the landed_titles file. You could go native for a generation, but that will come at the steep cost of losing all of the Norman cultural buildings you have.
How'd you get your titles? After a short while, you'll get an event suggesting you culture shift to the local culture. I think that Jerusalem {assuming you got it in a Crusade and not a series of holy wars} should've shifted to Norman as its primary culture because of the conqeust thing-y.
Make your primary title King of Syria and it'll come up in a while. You'll specifically shift to Levantine Arab. Or any of your other Arabian titles for their specific brand of Arab.
