North Africans have different facial features from Gypsies... North Africans have like "Arabic" look going on...

Any example?

Gypsies are Australoid-admixed, Middle Easterners (especially in the Southern part of the Arabian peninsula and in the Maghreb) are Negroid-admixed, latter ones have more distinctive features like broad lips, frizzy hair and flared noses, while gypsies and other Indians are often just darker in pigmentation

Any proof that ME they have been mixed with negroids?

I don't think they had much to do with proper Egypt.Obviously they picked up some Mid Eastern influence on the way here...

Since they declared they had come from Little-Egypt, they were called ‘Egyptiens’ by the French, and ‘Egypteners’ or ‘Heydens’ in the Netherlands. The contemporary terms ‘Gypsy’, ‘Gitano’, ‘Gitane’ or some equivalent names in Greece and the Balkans derive from those ‘Egyptians’ as well. However, Little-Egypt was a Venetian administered region in the Peloponnese, where the Gypsies had settled before being pushed onwards by the Turkish wars.

Most admixture breakdowns show about 10-25% SSA at least in the Maghreb and southern Arabian peninsula (less so in the Levant), like K8, K12b, K13:

Are gypsies Dravidian? I thought they mostly originated in northern India.

India can't be clearly divided that way, (partial) Veddoid looks can be found up to Pakistan
