Arabs in Greece (Greek:Άραβες στην Ελλάδα,Arabic:العرب في اليونان), known asAraves,[1] are the people fromArab world countries, particularlyEgypt,Iraq,Lebanon, thePalestinian territories,Syria, many of whom are Christian, and also small groups fromYemen,Algeria,Tunisia,Morocco,Libya andSudan, who emigrated from their native nations and currently reside in Greece and are mainly Muslim. Although some of these people belong to different religions and ethnic descent, such asCoptic Christians,Berbers,Syriacs andKurds, they are usually referred to as Arabs. The majority tend to live inAthens andThessaloniki. However, they can be found in all parts of the country. In addition, Greece has people from Arab countries, who have the status of refugees (e.g.refugees of the Syrian civil war) or illegal immigrants trying to immigrate to Western Europe.
