Oriental words were usually borrowed into Middle High German through Italian or Old French. Therefore the final is remarkable, because this sound was replaced with  in 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. There are two possible explanations for this: Either the word was borrowed directly from Arabic during the early Crusades, or it was borrowed through and the -ch goes back to artificial reproduction of the  (as happened in several other words).
