Yes, many Arabs have almond-shaped eyes. This is a common facial feature mentioned across various sources discussing Middle Eastern features.
Almond Eyes in Arab Features
Multiple sources describe almond-shaped eyes as a characteristic feature of Middle Eastern, and specifically Arab, beauty. For example, one reference describes Middle Eastern beauty icons as having "almond-shaped eyes," highlighting this feature alongside others like oval faces and full lips.[^1] Other sources reiterate this, mentioning almond-shaped eyes as a common feature among Arabs, often in conjunction with descriptions of dark hair and full lips. [^2, ^3, ^4, ^5]
It's important to note that while almond-shaped eyes are frequently cited as a common feature, eye shape varies among individuals, just as it does across any population group. The presence of almond-shaped eyes isn't exclusive to Arabs; other ethnicities may also share this trait. [^6, ^7] While some sources focus on the prevalence of almond eyes within Arab populations, it's crucial to acknowledge the diversity of eye shapes within the Arab world. [^8, ^9]
