Look I have nothing against Arabs. I have enormous respect for Egyptians. Before I go further with this people need to understand differance between ethnic Arabs and linguistic Arabs. most of North Africa has nominal Arab blood but speak Arabic. Ditto for Levant Arabs. Syrians, Lebanese. Then you have Peninsular Arabs [real Arabs] who are swimming on oil and are rich. It's important to umderstand this. The rest are not haughty or arrogant. I have met Egyptians and they tend to be down to earth people.
Tunisians for example are only 4% Arab. Here is pie chart of a Tunisian.
Lebanese are also nominal Arabs with 56% heritage from other regions including 5% Southern European.
I could not find a pie chart for Saudia Arabia but below is one for Kuwait which will be similar to some extent with KSA. Although the African influence on KSA is stronger then Kuwait because of geography.

What this @Saif al-Arab has deluded himself into thinking is that KSA is same as Tunisia or even Lebanon. Wheh that is evidently not the case. Those peoples are not ethnic Arabs but adopted Arabic language post Islamic conquest. This farce about Arabs being cradke of civilization is lot of crock. It was the Sumerians/Mesopotamians/Assyrians and Egyptians who were cradles of civilization. Peninsula Arabia remained aloof from these epic events because of it's geography. Below is a bar chart with KSA in the list and Pakistani populations.
What amazes me and garners repect is people like Turks here. They are the most European population here and with a fabulous history to go with it and at present are shining stars in military and economic power. People who even hate Turks grudginly give respect to their military and economic prowess coupled with a beautiful country. Yet look at how they act here. I don't detect any arrogance at all. Instead there is this calm but considered discourse from a consolidated position.
And then compare this Saif guy. At every turn he is shafting everybody for no reason. We do it with Indians but we have real political issues and even near war situations. But KSA? Yet he is disparafing everybody and acting like he is from some Scandanavian country. Although most Swedes or Norweigians are the nicest down to earth people you could run into.
I did not read your post expect for the "Tunisians" being only 4% Arab.
Those charts are wrong.
Tunisians are almost 50% Middle Eastern on average and cluster with Middle Easterners. As do all North Africans (Arabs and Berbers alike - related peoples moreover).
Genetic studies on Arabs are part of the population genetics discipline and are used to better understand the chronology of migration provided by research in other fields, such as history, archaeology, and linguistics. These studies investigate the origins of various Arab populations today. In particular, they investigate whether there is a common Arabian genetic heritage among different groups which today self-identify or are identified as Arab.
AtDNA (autosomal DNA) analysis looks at the non-sex chromosomes, which can show the overall extent of the Arabian-origin genetic component in different Arab populations. Y-DNA and mtDNA, on the other hand, look only at the single direct paternal or direct maternal lineage. AtDNA gives information about both the direct paternal, and the direct maternal lineage, plus all other lineages, however, its effectiveness is limited to fewer number of generations.[335] AtDNA among Arab groups outside of the Gulf countries has been shown to range widely from one Arab country to another, indicating more a process of cultural and linguistic replacement than Arabian genetic replacement, or in some cases, even any significant admixture.
In 2017, the largest scale genetic research undertaken into the AtDNA of different Arab groups by National Geographic's Genographic Project showed results indicating that, for instance, Kuwaiti Arabs have 84% of their AtDNA which is Arabian (Kuwait being one of the Gulf countries), the AtDNA of Lebanese Arabs is 44% Arabian (Lebanon being one of the Levantine countries), the AtDNA of Egyptian Arabs is 17% Arabian (Egypt uniquely situated in North Africa but with its large Sinai peninsula, a land bridge, being a part of Asia connecting it to the Levant), and the AtDNA of Tunisian Arabs is only 4% Arabian (Tunisia being one of the Maghreb countries of North Africa).[336][337]
In regards to the Y-DNA and mtDNA, which as mentioned above only looks at the single direct paternal or maternal lineage respectively, various studies have shown Haplogroup J and E1b1b are the most frequent Y-DNA haplogroups in the Arab world.
E1b1b is the most frequent paternal clade among the populations in the western part of the Arab world (Maghreb, Nile Valley and Horn of Africa), whereas haplogroup J is the most frequent paternal clade toward the east (Arabian peninsula and Near East). Other less common haplogroups are R1a, R1b, G, I, L and T.[338][339][340][341][342][343][344][345][346][347][348][349][350]

The mtDNA haplogroup J has been observed at notable frequencies among overall populations in the Arab world.[381] The maternal clade R0 reaches its highest frequency in the Arabian peninsula,[382] while K and T(specifically subclade T2) is more common in the Levant.[381] In the Nile Valley and Horn of Africa, haplogroups N1and M1;[382] in the Maghreb, haplogroups H1 and U6 are more significant.[383]
There are four principal West Eurasian autosomal DNA components that characterize the populations in the Arab world: the Arabian, Levantine, Coptic and Maghrebi components.
The Arabian component is the main autosomal element in the Persian Gulf region. It is most closely associated with local Arabic-speaking populations.[356] The Arabian component is also found at significant frequencies in parts of the Levant and Northeast Africa.[356][384] The geographical distribution pattern of this component correlates with the pattern of the Islamic expansion, but its presence in Lebanese Christians, Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews, Cypriots and Armenians might suggest that its spread to the Levant could also represent an earlier event.[356]
The Levantine component is the main autosomal element in the Near East and Caucasus. It peaks among Druze populations in the Levant. The Levantine component diverged from the Arabian component about 15,500–23,700 ypb.[356]
The Coptic component is the main autosomal element in Northeast Africa. It peaks among Egyptian Copts in Sudan, and is also found at high frequencies among other Afro-Asiatic-speaking populations in the Nile Valley and Horn of Africa.[385] The Coptic component is roughly equivalent with the Ethio-Somali component.[386]
The Maghrebi component is the main autosomal element in the Maghreb. It peaks among the non-Arabized Berber populations in the region.[384] The Maghrebi component diverged from the Coptic/Ethio-Somali, Arabian and Levantine components prior to the Holocene.[384][386]

DNA results of average 334 Tunisians:
https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/tunisie/dna-results
For instance I cluster closely with over 30 Tunisians on Family Tree DNA ranging from Tunis to Sfax and Beja.
Those are National Geographic charts. The same charts that show Iran as being almost 60% "Arabian".
Here you go:
https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/reference-populations-next-gen/
So now we know that Tunisians are only 4% Arab (why not 3.5% or 4.5%?) while Iranians are 56% Arabia. Damn.
Check out the Google sheet that I posted. That is genuine data. Take it from someone who knows what he is talking about.
BTW I just saw that the DNA chart that you posted shows that Saudi Arabians score some of the highest "Mediterranean" component on that list contrary to what you are seemingly writing yourself. Dude, just admit that you have close to no knowledge about DNA or human genetics in comparison let alone the history of the Near East or Arab world, including Arabia, a key component of that region and its history and legacy.
May I refer to this factual post that you for some "strange" reason ignored. Post 32, for anyone interested:
