[TOMT] I forgot the name of a TV show from the early to mid 2000s

r/

Hi everybody, I am hoping for some help. I forgot the name of a show my mom watched when I was much younger. I only remember a few details, but I’m hoping this could jog some memory in someone to help me out.

The main character of the show is a woman in the US. She is surprised to learn that she has some important destiny and the ability to use magic, which she learns from symbols on tiles given to her by a guy who is supposed to train her. They fight djinn and stuff and eventually the guy falls in love with the girl. The show is live action.

The box of tiles is very important to the show and has some part in the opening theme, which sounds Persian/Arab. The show should be from between 2000-10, but I don’t have a ton of confidence in that claim. I would appreciate any help that you guys can offer in figuring out this show, thanks!

    Maybe “The Middleman?” It WAS released in 2008

    Why don’t you have a ton of confidence in the time frame? Do you think it could be newer or older?
