  Seems like it could be an Arabic script to me, which could be used in a language in the Middle East or various other places in Asia, Africa, China etc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet#Languages_written_with_the_Arabic_alphabet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet#Languages_writt...

And I can't find that V-like character with a stroke at the top, second in from the right in the lower word that appears on either side of the door.
