i can see why they would consider themselves Arab. They could easily go for Syrian or Egyptian. Berbers may be separated by distance but it seems they would be separated by phenotypes as well. Is there a variation in their culture and if so, can distant Berbers tell each other apart by culture and phenotypes?

by phenotype obviously(although some Central/southern Moroccans look "riffain")
and by culture more so because berbers are very different a Riffain is culturally very different from a chleuh and both very different from Saharan " berbers" I think Islamic celebrations(besides language) is what makes berber to be "similar" some way
