Dear Reem I would recommend the chrysalidocarpus lutescens (areca palm), also try the chamaedorea.
Both of them are indoor plants that can be planted in large pots that adds a touch of elegance to the the work space.
Kindly note the there is no plant would grow properly without sun light, even if it is called an indoor plant, it has to be placed somewhere by the window or in a room where sun light is intensively spread hope that was useful BR; Yasmine

Dear RIM There are a range of indoor plants suitable for offices, like: hoya Ceropegia aglonema Asparagus dracena reflexa zamioculcas scindapsus tradescantia And this, for example, and not as a limitation.
but attention to the following: Good lighting , proper soil and irrigation are very important for each kind of them

I would recommend you to grow a highly resistant plants that can survive the dryness and drought such a place where you live, and these would be: Cactus, Lavender, Turnips, Perennials such as (Gaillardia (a kind of flower that can extend and gives a marvelous look), Sunflowers), and maybe if you are interested in growing productive plants you maybe interested in taproots that have the ability to go deeper into the soil and penetrate deep layers to absorb water, such us: Carrots, Tomatoes, Beets, Radishes, and Parsnips.

in that case i recommend4 types of plants

because they are  several plants several colors, some of them with smell and others without, all of them can stand the climate conditions and finally they have a attractive view.  

Typical house plants will be appropriate for an office setting, and the plant selection will depend on the available light relative to plant placement in the interiors (this is assuming theplants are watered regularly).  There are many species to choose from: for aesthetics, the character of plants (size, color, habit, texture, etc.) will vary based on your interior concept, and for plant hardiness, your supplier/horticulturist will best advise you on the best and available materials.
