I have seen a few. Some even have freckles. But not that many.
Its very hard to find pictures though because really red hair isn't all that common over there.
If anyone has any pictures of arabs with red hair can you post them?

If anyone has any pictures of arabs with red hair can you post them? By Arabs, do you mean of Arab ethnicity (strictly Arabian Penninsula) or those who speak Arabic (which would include Egypt, Libya, Maghreb, Levant, Iraq) |

I mean arabic speakers, whether they be from Egypt, Iraq, etc. I've seen several. There is one set of Iraqi/Egyptian siblings I know who have flaming red hair and freckles. It's honestly not too uncommon. There are numerous redheaded Egyptians but red hair reaches a peak among Syrians. Many many Syrians have red hair, and quite a few Palestinians as well. Unfortunately, I have no pictures, but red-headedness in Arabs is not all too uncommon. |

I think I have seen like two red headed palestinians on television, and that was out of a group of like a few thousand.
I didn't realize it was more common than that.

That's strange. He looks Middle Eastern, but he has bright red-orange hair. Weirdest combination ever.

Here is one Iraqi with red hair. Something looks very "American" about him. I think the military uniform adds to this. |

Eh, I don't know. I think he still looks middle eastern (northern).
I think its the very dark brown eyes and the eye shape.

I've seen quite afew Lebanese people with red hair and very light blonde hair, they have the semetic shape but with lighter skin and hair. I think it might be from the crusaders or something.  |

Red hair in the middleast is a VERY intriguing subject. I did some research, and found that CIRCASSIANS had that distinct trait, and they used to dwell in Anatolia if I recall correctly.

the bible says King David had red hair.  he is supposed to have lived a thousand years before Christ, thousands of years, therefore, before the arrival of crusaders or something. Even if he didnt exist (which is not the case in my opinion), the text at least confirms that there were red hair people amongst the semitic for quite a long time. |
