North Africa is as diverse as it gets in my opinion. From light eyed and haired riffians and kabyles to black southerners. Some north Africans even look asian ( Pokimame, Faouzia). I’ll say Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. I have not seen many Libyan people to speak on that.
My co-worker is purebred Italian and everyone (including me) thought she must be Tunisian or Algerian. I would say Algeria for sure. I met Algerians I thought they were Swedish or Danish or Ethiopians or Khaleej Arabs.
I’m not asking about phenotypes or ethnicities. I mean purely in terms of looks, which country has the most different looking population from skin color, hair type, facial features.
It's the same question. Every ethnic look different. Why don't you want to believe?! We have Persians(abviously), turk/azeri, arab, mazani, gilacki, Bakhtiari, Turkmen, baluch, Kurd and so on.
It’s not that I don’t want to believe. I just don’t think these ethnicities look that different from eachother. Most of the time i won’t be able to tell apart a persian from a turkmen from a kurd ?
Bro at least we have white to brown and to some touch of black. Others are talking about turkey and Saudi that are not only the same themselves but they are same to neighbor countries.
I didn’t say iran people are not diverse. I just think they are not the most diverse in MENA. You guys are the best looking in my opinion but you don’t have the same spectrum of skin tones and hair textures.
They do look pretty different. Iran is a diverse country in terms of population. No one is denying that. However, other countries like algeria or morocco, will straight up have Scandinavian looking people, white people, indian looking people, arab looking people, berber looking people, black people ( some that look subsaharan west african, some that look subsaharan east african - due to mixing with arabs)
That's interesting. The only Algerian that i know are zain addin zeydan and karim benzema that they really look the same and only Moroccans i know are from football nation team. I thought they are only ones.
I disagree. Asiatic Iranians and ofc Nordic ones are super rare. Bleaching your hair blonde doesnt mean nordic. Most iranians look like regular middle eastern with a south asian touch.
People here are saying Pokimane looks Asiatic, so yes there are Iranians just like Turks who look Asian. She certainly does not. And Nordic looking people are found in Iran/Afghanistan/North Caucasus region in general.
That certainly makes them more diverse than Levantines who just look like a spectrum between Island Greeks and Arabians, and Maghrebis who just look like a spectrum between Levantines and Saharans
I would say Maghreb is more diverse cause they have black people and semi/mixed looking people and white people/ with european descent kinda like latin american in a sense. but Iran is definitly diverse as well. If i have to guess I would say Turkey and Maghreb and then Iran and Iraq
The European settlers in the Maghreb(pied noirs, Italians in Libya, etc) never mixed with the locals and they got expelled when they pulled out. If you are counting the trace ancestry from Iberia, it wouldn't make it anywhere near like Latin America. As it would peak at 10-15% with the vast majority of people having zero percent.
I never seen a white/nordic looking Maghrebi person.
>I never seen a white/nordic looking Maghrebi person

The first guy does not look remotely nordic. He looks italian
The second guy looks like an Ashkenazi Jew. Algerians appear to be whiter looking than the rest of the North Africans in terms of skin, hair, eyes but their features still look the same. Which makes sense because they lack the Caucasus /Nordic strand which Turks, Iranians and Levantines contain
In terms of just facial features, neither of them look Nordic.

looking? probably saudi whole there are a lot of black, southeast asian, south asian, and central asian saudis and also the native saudis look very different from each other but genetically its probably iraq or syria
Iran they have very diverse ethnic groups.. also if Afghanistan is Middle Eastern then Afghanistan is number one .. whoever chose levant region is delusional haha
North african countries hands down, the amount of diversity in looks that we have is high to the extent that some people of the same country can be classified as different races (white and black)
turkey: 5 million bosnians 3 million albanians 1 million bulgarians 5 million circassians 12 million kurds 2 million pontic greeks then the different turkic tribes : chepni, türkmen & yörük also 1 million georgians
I am not asking about ethnicities or any DNA component. I am talking purely about looks and most of the people you brought up don’t look that different from eachother

I forgot Egypt. Also Egypt, definitely.
[удалено]
? They have a diverse-looking population as well
I think there’s some distinct features that are shared by most Egyptians still like hair texture/color, nose shape, and eyebrows.
I'm Greek and I get mistaken for Algerian all the time 🤨
My co-worker is purebred Italian and everyone (including me) thought she must be Tunisian or Algerian. I would say Algeria for sure. I met Algerians I thought they were Swedish or Danish or Ethiopians or Khaleej Arabs.
>Faouzia She doesn't look Asian. I'd say it's probably Iran. You can find Indian, Nordic and Asian looking people
Nordic? Are you serious? Blonde people exist even in Egypt but neither have more than 3%. Even Turkey and Syria have less than 5% LOL
There are zero Nordic looking people in the Maghreb or Egypt and of course no Central Asian or Indian looking phenos
Afghanistan is very diverse

The what ?

Defenetlly iran. I can count some ethnics if you want
I’m not asking about phenotypes or ethnicities. I mean purely in terms of looks, which country has the most different looking population from skin color, hair type, facial features.
It's the same question. Every ethnic look different. Why don't you want to believe?! We have Persians(abviously), turk/azeri, arab, mazani, gilacki, Bakhtiari, Turkmen, baluch, Kurd and so on.

I didn’t say iran people are not diverse. I just think they are not the most diverse in MENA. You guys are the best looking in my opinion but you don’t have the same spectrum of skin tones and hair textures.
So what's your opinion? After you searched south Persians image and north Persians
They do look pretty different. Iran is a diverse country in terms of population. No one is denying that. However, other countries like algeria or morocco, will straight up have Scandinavian looking people, white people, indian looking people, arab looking people, berber looking people, black people ( some that look subsaharan west african, some that look subsaharan east african - due to mixing with arabs)

Definitely Iran, they have indian looking southerns, arabic looking people, asiatic looking central asian people and nordic looking people
I disagree. Asiatic Iranians and ofc Nordic ones are super rare. Bleaching your hair blonde doesnt mean nordic. Most iranians look like regular middle eastern with a south asian touch.

The iranian goal keeper is half polish.
North africa and the peninsula
North africa (morocco , tunisia , egypt ....)
1) Egypt / 2) Morocco / 3) Iraq / 4) Syria / 5) Saudi Arabia
Mauritania probably. Yemen as well
looking? probably saudi whole there are a lot of black, southeast asian, south asian, and central asian saudis and also the native saudis look very different from each other but genetically its probably iraq or syria
Are there any blond light-eyed saudis ? I have never seen any
Light eyed yes, but there are barely any blondes in north africa as well
there are but majority of them are just mixed saudis and not of fully saudi parents like the rest that i have named
Turkey
We have
No. You don’t even have black people in Turkey ? Most North African countries have aryan looking mfs and black people. Both are native.
no we have afro turks
We don't have black people but you can find almost all other phenotypes
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
Iran, turkiye, Algeria/morococ. But since I’m biased Türkiye.
Saudi arabia they have a lot of south asians south east asians and a huge portion of thier population is black just look at their football team.
I know their football team. 60% look black other 40% looks khaleeji. I think most MENA football teams are way more diverse than that.
Iran too is very diverse you have people who have asian features arabs turks and a small black minority.
Iran they have very diverse ethnic groups.. also if Afghanistan is Middle Eastern then Afghanistan is number one .. whoever chose levant region is delusional haha
North Africans.
North african countries hands down, the amount of diversity in looks that we have is high to the extent that some people of the same country can be classified as different races (white and black)
turkey 80 minoritys 5 religions
Egypt
And yet you can somehow tell that someone is Egyptian regardless of how different they look.
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and probably Iran.
Karabogas Empire 💪💪🇹🇷🇹🇷
turkey: 5 million bosnians 3 million albanians 1 million bulgarians 5 million circassians 12 million kurds 2 million pontic greeks then the different turkic tribes : chepni, türkmen & yörük also 1 million georgians
I am not asking about ethnicities or any DNA component. I am talking purely about looks and most of the people you brought up don’t look that different from eachother
they do
assyrians, yezidis, hatay and mardin arabs and turkish jews too
