the Arabian subtype of the "Mediterranean" branch.

[Demhat]

It was generally hard to find good Arabian examples because Saudi Arabia, the biggest country of the Arabian Peninsula was closed down to tourism. Which has finally changed.

And because of that you would see many mixed African, Indian, Iranian, Levantine, Pakistani, European, Turkish mixed individuals in the smaller Golf states(UAE, Qater, Kuwait, Bahrain) or Eastern Mediterranean mixed Arabian types from the Levant, being posted as representation of the local Arabian people.

Here are some examples I collected from a travelers video from Saudi Arabia.

These here are a good representation of the gracilized Arabian type of the Mediterranean umbrella branch found primarily on the Arabian peninsular and in mixed variation in Levant and South_Central Mesopotamia.

Saudi Arabian examples










edit: one of the examples taken out because some people seem to only understand physical traits in black, brown and white.

Yes he is also a good example. Gracile features meso to dolichocephalic, medium statue. Where was your grandad from?

Interestingly he also shows overlap to some Gracile Iranic types. Which is to be expected. As there is natural physical overlap in looks between the Levant Mediterranean and Arabian type, there is also some overlap between certain Iranic types and the Arabian types.

They look diverse (btw the woman looks really strange) and as expected some of them look south asian

1. The women absolutely doesn't look strange at all. Just unusual to those who are used to see a certain type of Arabs. She is a prime example of a gracile "desert" adapted type of Mediterranean.

2. Non of the individuals shown, with the exception of pigmentation, resemble Indians by any means. It's like saying Andamanese look Sub Saharan African.

Absolutely zero physical resemblence to Indian even the darkest have distinct Arabian features.

1. I've never seen any arab or even middle eastern that looks like her (I really can't place her anywhere) it's intriguing and interesting

He’s Libyan but he’s banu sulaymi like a lot of Libyans so he originates from Hejaz most likely

Yea, even in Libya there are so many people who look South Asian which surprised me until I gained more knowledge about the country

But I have Indian friends who lived in UAE who did say they did still experience racism there, so the differences are still there.

I prefer an image with at least 3 people together. Otherwise it's easy to select what you want to show.
