That's how alot of Saudis look.
You'll be surprised traveling in Arabia how many people are black and/or look partially black. The pale skin Arab is a minority. Most got a similar look to American mulattos like Drake and Patrick Mahomes.
Arabs also imported African players for the World Cup

Biblically it is. Egypt and Nubia were sons of Ham. While the Arabs and Hebrews were sons of Shem. In the Bible, Hebrews like Moses and Joseph were commonly mistaken for Egyptians. That means the sons of Shem and Ham must have both looked the same.
Unless you believe the Ancient Nubians and Egyptians weren't black, then that means the Arabs and Jews were also originally black.
It is
Anything under the Afro Asiatic branch which Arabs and Jews are is originally black, the clue is in the Afro part of the name.
Can you provide evidence for your claim?

I'm not using the Bible to claim Moses and Noah actually existed. Instead I'm using the Bible to show you how people in the past viewed the relationships between one another. If the writers of the Bible grouped Egypt and Nubia as siblings then it stands to reason the people's of those two lands must have looked similar. Also if those same writers said that Hebrews like Moses and Joseph could pass as Egyptians then the sons of Shem must have looked similar to the sons of Ham as well.
I don't know why you can't use simple reasoning skills. If the ancient world keeps telling us the Ancient Hebrews and Ancient Egyptians were indistinguishable from one another as well as telling us the Ancient Egyptians were black. Then obviously the Ancient Hebrews were also black. And if the Ancient Hebrews were black then their siblings the Ancient Arabs must have also been black.
Also all these people lived in the same part of the world thus it stands to reason they looked alike.
Well firstly the language group is Afro-Asiatic which basically implies a group who have African and Asiatic origins, Berber Omotic Chadic Cushytic are the other languages in this group, Chadic(people from Niger Nigeria Chad etc) Omotic(Ethiopians) Cushytic(Ethiopians) Egyptian Berber and Semitic.
If I told you the original Somalians or the original Ethiopians or even Egyptians were black you would have no argument... The language cluster denotes a shared heritage, original Arabs are black people from the Yemen, and if you go Yemen even today you see people who would described as Black in the modern sense still there till this day, I used to date a girl from there and she looks no different from a Somalian or Ethiopian who they also have a shared history with.
It’s literally an Afro Asiatic language afterall, with emphasis on the Afro part.
The issue with your reasoning is that you think Canannites/Hebrews like Moses resembled Egyptians, let alone Arabs. The Ancient Egyptians themselves told us what they thought the people of Canaan (who were/are Semitic) looked like in comparison to them:

We know what Berbers looked like 4,000 years ago, being of African origin thanks to the Egyptians (the Berber is on the far left; and the Canaanite - a Semite - is right beside the brown skin Egyptian):
The notion that just because someone speaks an Afro-Asiatic language, that person is 'black' is false.
Moreover, recognize that Semitic languages, unlike Chadic, Berber, Omotic, Egyptian, Cushytic etc. arose in the Arabian Peninsula and spread to Mesopotamia, the Levant, and the Horn of Africa.
If you're claiming that one branch of Semitic speakers, the Arabs, are black but the Akkadians are not - you'll have a lot of explaining to do.
There is no historical record, unlike say the Greek descriptions of Egyptians or Nubians, which point to the Arabs as having 'burnt skin' or being "Ethiopian". Romans interacted with Arabs, invaded Arabia at one point and didn't describe Arabs as resembling Nubians, let alone Egyptians.
And before @Budda and @Swagnificent become upset - let's clarify something.
We know what Ancient Egyptians thought of their sister culture, Nubia, and the peoples that surrounded their 5,000 year civilization. We also know what they thought of themselves...
Nubians are depicted as both black and reddish brown - as Kemetians were. That same reddish-brown colour
Here, an Egyptian Pharaoh is receiving honour from a Nubian leader. Note that they are the same skin tone
Here, a Kemetian Pharaoh is fighting Nubians. Note that some of the Nubians are the same skin tone as he:
