Does Southern Europe have any phenotypes "exotic" enough to be Arabian? If so, where?

[Sikeliot]

Do you think there are any Southern Europeans who are exotic enough to pass as Arabian, i.e. Saudi and neighboring Arab countries?

If so, post examples. Also where would such types, generally, be most likely to be found?

I don't mean Levantine here but actual Arabian.

Nope.

Yes

I don't think it's possible for Southern Europeans to look stereotypical Arabian, but if they can pass in Levant and Mesopotamia they might be able to pass even if atypical in Arabia.

I could find SOME examples of people from Europe who could be easily believable as Arabian, but they would be few and far between and people here might not agree with my choices.

If Europe doesn't change its immigration policy ASAP, most people in Europe will look Arabian by 2050.

That said, no real European looks like an Arabian.

A Levantine, maybe, but not like a Saudi or a Yemenite.

I think some similarities and overlap across the Mediterranean among short, brunette people is reasonable, however a desert adapted individual general would never pass in Europe

Arabians aren't all that dark or all Yemeni-looking. There may not be many South Euros that can pass as stereotypical Arabian, but there should be some that can pass at least as atypical if they can pass as typical Levantines.

This man is Sicilian and the past mayor of Messina. I think he would pass even in Yemen. But his look is extreme.

I think if he went to Saudi Arabia, spoke fluent Arabic, and lied about being an Arab, the locals wouldn't be like "Wtf, there's no way you can be an Arab, you look nothing like one!!". So I'd say he is one of those that can pass, but he would obviously be among the most European looking there. Saudi Arabia's FM Adel al-Jubeir looks kinda South Euro, not all Arabians are stereotypical south Yemeni-looking folk.

I'm not sure if that guy can pass in Yemen though.
