The Lebanese & Syrians have a bit more EUROPEAN ancestry as well as ARAB (Middle-eastern) ancestry. North Africans tend to look the most "ETHNIC" ARAB. North AFRICAN Berbers of MOROCCO have some Sub-Saharan (black AFRICAN) ancestry.

The Asian Arabs generally have Arab and European blood lines while the North African Arabs have a lot of Black, Arab and European blood (mainly Spanish, Portuguese and French). Most Asian Arabs have light skin from the European blood and wavy black hair from the Arab blood. And most North African Arabs (and when I say North African Arabs I mean North African Arabs and not Berbers) have really light skin from the Arab and European blood and kinky frizzy hair from the black blood. I don't know where the Asian Arabs got their European blood from but they probably got it because they traveled to different regions to spread islam and when they went to Europe they must have mixed with the locals or maybe its because the Arab countries of Asia are really close to Europe and blood must have been exchanged from region to region. The reason North African Arabs have black blood in them is because of centuries and centuries of trade in which Arabs from North Africa went further down south to West and East Africa and took many slaves and they mixed with them and married them. North African Arabs get their European blood because of the moorish invasion of Spain in which thousands and thousands of Arab North Africans invaded Spain and other parts of Europe (mainly France, Sicily and Portugal) to spread Islam and then they must have mixed with the locals. Then North African Arabs get their Arab blood because the Arabs from Asia conquered North Africa in 7th Century to spread Islam and they mixed with the natives. I should know because I'm Algerian. And thats the difference between Asian Arabs and North African Arabs.
