Arab used to mean "a person that lives on the Arabian Peninsula " and the definition of the Arabs is the same in the past as it's today; people who are originally from the Arabic Peninsula & they came from two major tribes " Kahtaan" & " Adnan", they are in 22 countries in North Africa & South East Asia or " the Middle East " all of them speak the same language & share a lot of similarities in culture & traditions.

Arabs are an ethnic group whose members identify as such on one or more of linguistic, cultural,political, or genealogical grounds. Those self-identifying as Arab, however, rarely do so with it as their sole identity. Most hold multiple identities, with a more localized prioritized national identity such as Egyptian, lebanese, or palestinian in addition to further tribal, village and clan identities
