Depends on lots of things ranging from their experience to their approaches to teaching. Be wary of native speakers who claim they can teach based on their own knowledge of the language. It goes beyond that. Ask them questions like:
-How many years experience do you have?
-What materials do you use for teaching? Do you design your own?
-How different is to teach native speakers of Arabic compared to Arabic as a foreign language?
-Will you be teaching solely Classical Arabic or Colloquial Arabic?
I would say for a good experienced teacher between 150-200 an hour sounds reasonable. But you can tell from the first lesson, if they are the 'real deal' or not. As with anything, it's good to 'try before you buy', spend around 45 minutes with them and see how they shape up. Don't rush into having any teacher. Arabic is a difficult yet beautiful language, make sure the person who teaches you has experience and really knows what they are doing.
