As a whole, do Pakistanis and North Indians pass better in Lebanon or Somalia?

[Tooting Carmen]

While rather different as a whole from either group, I think that quite a few Northwest South Asians could pass in either direction depending on their phenotype.

I think Lebanon by far lol. Somalis can get straight hair, but most have typical African hair I believe

But Somalis are more Caucasoid-influenced than are most other Africans though, thus the combination of relatively fine features and very dark skin can make them look similar to Indians. Anyway, as someone of partial Arab descent yourself, how common would you say it is for Pakistanis and North Indians to pass in Arab countries (whether the Gulf, Iraq or the Levant?)

In Iraq quite easily, and so in the Gulf. In the Levant not that much but depending on the area, some might get mistaken for Bedouins, but Bedouin genetics are very different despite similarities in phenotype

Perhaps, but I am sure I've seen photos of quite a few Palestinians in particular (Gazans?) who could pass even in Gujarat.

There are no middle easterners that look indian. Only the opposite exists since indians are just neolithic middle easterners mixed with weddoid and/or negrito. A small amount also have Aryan influence in phenotype.

Maybe not so much in the Levant, but certainly in the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Iran there are people who do look wholesale Indian.

No, the problem is just that that you find middle eastern looking indians to compare them too.

I think some Pashtuns can pass in levant and some punjabis in Gulf region but that's it.

I agree.
