Arab or Berbers, Moroccans are first of all Mediterranean people similar to for example Sicilians.



I know 3 or 4 Moroccans over here who identify as Arabs and they more resemble people from the Gulf. With the ones who identify as Berbers - the vast majority - and while some of them could pass for Arab (though a bit lighter in complexion) as well, there's a ton of them that basically look like Spaniards.
