I would say it was definitely whiter. There was also an abundance of Greek and Roman genes as opposed to Arabic ones.

Nah, but they were probably whiter due to less negro and southern Arabian genes.

No they were always shitskins. People forget that the Arabs had always colonize or settle the levant years before Islam especially when it was under roman rule.
A lot of the white lookingish Arabs there have mamluk or Balkan genes due to the region being a cumdumpster.
