No, they are not. The discussion did not concern people of the Arabian Peninsula or Pakistan but Arabs as a whole and South Asians as a whole.
This map is useless (if not completely worthless) and dates from 1940. Are you going to tell me that the average Yemeni looks like the average person from the Ivory Coast and Togo and that Senegalese have the same skin color as people in half of Arabia and half of Iran?
Dude, Arabs, particularly those in the GCC, know how the average South Asian looks like as we host millions of all you from all corners of the Indian Continent. You are darker by average (nothing wrong with that) and I highly doubt that any objective person would say otherwise.

Dude the only darker Arabs are Afro-Arabs and they are not ethnically Arabs. Even the darkest Yemeni Arabs are lighter than those people.
Also I never said anything about "light-skinned" Arabs so I do not know what you are talking about honestly, lol. I don't find pale/light/blond/blue eyed persons attractive rather the opposite. Arabs do not consume lightening creams or have any inferiority complexes. We are proud of our olive skin (majority) tone.
And YES and Arab tourist will look apart in South India and most of South Asia. As will an South Asian tourist in say an isolated mountain village in Hijaz. The skin tone is secondary here as I already wrote. Some Arabs will resemble South Asians and vice versa but Arabs by large do not have the same facial features as you South Asians or look like you. This is completely normal considering geography. Genetics, history etc. also confirm this. We live/are native to West Asia and North Africa. Not South Asia.
However yes we look more alike than East Asians, South East Asians, Africans and most Europeans. However the discussion was about whether Arabs would blend it without a problem. Most would not.
It is not really that hard to understand.
Wait a minute, you're using 1 picture of Olympic team and comparing them with Saudi females.

And as far gulf arabs having african ancestry, well many people in Pakistan migrated from deep inside India after 1947. Not saying gulf arabs look south indias but stop painting south asians with same brush and lying because you feel insecure. Levantines are as much representatives of Gulf Arabs as Pakistani Sindhi fishermen is of people from Gilget.
