The main reason that the Arab Tribes united against the Central Powers is that Great Britain had promised the Arabs independence. This would be the first time that Arabs would have independence in much of the Middle East since the 13th century.

Conversely, Arabs had no fears concerning Russia, Germany, or any of the major powers in World War I other than the Ottoman Empire and had no alignment with any country prior to the war. The Arab Tribes only entered World War I because of the British promise, because this was the first time their self-interest was catered to.

When did the allies fight the central powers?

This is a confusion of notions: typically "the allies" refers to WWII while "central powers" refers to WWI Before WWI Germany made the triple-alliance with Italy and Austria-Hungary. Bulgaria and the Ottoman empire joined the alliance, against the Entente with UK, France and Russia. Other countries joined the Entente too. When Italy swapped sides in 1915, the remainder of the German war alliance was called the central powers. WWI started 1914 and reached armistice in 1918. In WWII the term "the allies" was used about those fighting with the UK against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan, with their collaborators).
