I've using a Canon 5D Mark II for quite a long time. The performance is impeccable and the quality it delivers is up to the par to other professional cameras.

I would recommend you to grab a 5D mark ii at salam, which will cost you around 10,400 riyals, and a 24-70 mm f2.8 lens which will be around 7000 riyals.

This lens is a powerhouse and will deliver you results just the way you want it to be.

Then there is Canon 1D Mark III, which, if you are a night and low light photographer, is your only bet to acheive clean images.

Coupled with a 16-35 mm f2.8 it delivers unparallel performance.

And if you want to learn about photography, you have to start with light metering. As trivial as it may sound now, the metering, which calculates and determines the amount of light it should let enter the camera, can be really stupid at times. The camera always mixes up the contents of the frame and try to make it equaivalent to 18% grey, which in result produces wrong results.

So I have just given you something, from where you can start your baby steps. Now google fiercely and make your learning curve steep ;-)

Have alook at this link for lessons.

http://www.google.com.qa/search?q=online+photography+lessons&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&safe=active&surl=1

Youtube also has lots of lessons on various aspects of photography.

You say you want a camera for profesional photography, but you are asking for advice on this forum for a camera and lessons. Do you have any experience using a DSLR?

If you are just starting out why not buy a second hand camera and lens and see whether you enjoy the hobby.

The camera will not make you a good photographer, knowledge of light, composition, aperture, speed, among other things will make you a good photographer.
