Share your thoughts. Also, I wouldn't mind if you discuss political differences, too.
Moroccans:

The older woman here is Spanish, the rest are Moroccan though:

The Moroccans have distinct Berberid types, more SSA influence and some Mediterranids while Saudi Arabs are uniformly Arabid.

They mostly look similar. And also some of Moroccan individuals can pass in Turkey.

Also when I said that not all Moroccan men are Saad Lamjarred in an Instagram page, I was lycnhed :shocked: :cry:

I've not seen the African (SSA mix?) Arabs before. That's very new to me.

I know a few Moroccans and the Amazigh (sp?) do look quite European.

I'd say the Arabs are surprisingly more African than the Moroccans, in the selections above. Of course a lot of the Moroccans look exactly as they are, North African but, more of them look less African than the Arabs.

In the last group of Arab women, the two on the right look quite Pakistani. The others look Iranian, to my eyes.

I agree about Moroccans showing more Berberid traits but I think that Saudi Arabs show a level of SSA influence comparable to that in Moroccans, if not even higher - not just based on these photos but on my general impression, too.

Agreed with this, I also noticed it.

Moroccans too.

Something like that.
