Similar to the Lebanese set, all are poor choices. In fact, probably even worse for this one.

Saudi, Afghan, Sicily, Greece

I mean they obviously do not look close to any of the choices but the point is to gauge which choice is most and least fitting.

For what it is worth, 14 of them would pass in Sicily to me. Less than half. I cannot answer for Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan but to me, Saudi is the best choice.

Finally, a more realistic set of Levantines than the usual whitewashed rubbish we often have in this forum. Saudi Arabia by far.

In my other threads with Lebanese, about half of the people put southern Italian first, and Greek either second or third. This thread no one picked either of those that high up.

Because most of them are rather dark-skinned and Arab-looking, which (shock horror) is how the majority of Levantines look, not like that blond male model you posted a few weeks ago in a Lebanese thread.

Lebanese Muslims have minor Norman and other West European in them.

But even so, 99% of them still wouldn't look like that guy.

They do look 'whiter' than most other Arab ethnic groups as a whole, but nowhere near to the extent that you yourself have claimed, when saying that 50%+ can fit in Sicily (no way they do).

Of the people above, these are the ones I think pass:

First row (from left): 1, 3, 7, 8
Second row: 4
Third row: 2, 3, 5 (ignore clothes), 6, 7
Last row: 3, 4, 5, 7 (ignore clothes), 8

Of 32 people this is 15. This is pass, not looking typical. Of these, none really look typical but could be seen with some degree of frequency on the west of the island.

Ok this one was easier than I thought apparently. And compared to the Lebanese set, no one put Sicily first or Greece second.

Out of those choices (best to worst)

Saudi>Afghan>Sicily>Greece

They fit better in places like Algeria and Tunisia than the aforementioned choices tbh

Ok so everyone is in almost unanimous agreement: Saudi is the best fit, Greek the worst of the four choices.
