Hi
I'm sure somebody will come on with a command of Arabic who can help - I did business for many years with a lady who was our agent in Egypt and when addressed with her husband he always took precedence (as in fact is the formal way here - Mr & Dr where the Dr. is a lady), I find if you stick to the recognised and traditional formats you can't go far wrong.
Possibly you could address the letter just to her and then write Dear Mr & Mrs or even Dear Ahmed and Cherifa or whatever.
Not much help but at least a reply!
