Not all “Arabs” are ethnically the same.

An Egyptian culturally and racially is not the same as a Saudi, Moroccan or Syrian.

However they have a common bond in the Arab language, script and partially shared Islamic history.

The modern ideology of (Pan)Arabic nationalism further created a bond between otherwise very different Arab nations.

Most Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians etc. will insist on certain differences, but agree on being “Arabs” nontheless.
