she look pretty european to me. she can pass easilly as italian.

[ABest]

She looks very European.

[Amun]

She looks fully European.

Actually, she is FULL Egyptian. I guess if she is a bit lighter, she could pass in Southern Europe.

[Ibericus]

many moroccan girls here have that sort of look

[Newsboy]

She looks pretty European. Is she from Lower Egypt?

[ABest]

Yeah, that's why I edited the fully into very, because fully suggests that she is actually European, sorry. ;)

What I meant was that she has a very European look.

[Dombra]

She looks Italian

Yes, obviously :)
You won't find this type of look in Southern areas.

Lower Egypt is a Med area having a long history of contact with Romans and Greeks. I won't be surprised if her look is uncommon there xD

Alexandria was a Roman colony built by Alexander, also there was a Roman colony in southern Cairo named Saqqara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saqqara). I wouldn't say they left huge genetic shift in the Egyptian population, but some intermarriages might be common at that time. Cleopatra was 1/4 Egyptian and 3/4 Roman.

Yeah Lower Egyptians have some Roman and Greek ancestry, but not much. The girl just looks S. European probably because she is a Med like most S. Europeans. It's a Pan-Med look perhaps.

I agree with you. Here is another girl from Alexandria, i think she is also Pan-Med.

One of my friends, Farah, looks not too dissimilar and she is Lebanese. I always thought she looked Italian or Greek.

[Methusalem]

Turkey, Levante, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece. Maybe Morocco too. Pan-mediterrean. Mediterranid.

The Pan-med look makes here pass in any country on the Mediterranean. Usually coastal Egyptians have less SSA admixture compared to their southern counterparts.

[YeshAtid]

How strong is nubian influence ?

[Amun]

How strong is nubian influence ?

It is very visible in south, about 18 to 20% SSA in southern egyptians.

Southern Egyptians are somewhat similar to Sudanese right? And are Nubians the same as Sudanese?

[singular]

I would put her in Turkey.

Actually the SSA in Egypt is from the Sudani side, not East-African side. Although, some Egyptians can pass in Horn Africa, like this footballer ElMuhamdi

No, but some show SouthMed influence in them.
