Well, they don't usually write their vowels, so lots of words begin with two vowels, but I think what Jenet is saying is that phonologically, Arabic doesn't allow word-initial consonant clusters. Also, remember the gh is represented by a single glyph in Arabic, so there's not three letters there. In the IPA, gh would be represented by a gamma /ɣ/.
