I have had many friends from the Middle East and their skin tones ranged from essentially white to soft brown. I found a more telling feature that seemed to set them apart were some slight similarities in facial features. Mention of the MC’s skin tone need not be made. Your character could notice that others are paler than he or darker than he. You could even have some horse related theme since the Arabs are culturally people of the horse. You could have him notice that his skin is the color of one of his favourite spices. Tea is almost a religion there, those with dark skin could be seen as resembling strong tea. When it came to horses, darker colour ones were thought to fare worse in the sun so were eschewed.
