Syrians, e.g. (5)

I believe the answer is:

arabs

(Other definitions for arabs that I've seen before include "Graceful horses" , "eg Saudis" , "Semitic people of the Middle East and North Africa" , "Semitic people in the Middle East and northern Africa" , "Semites" .)

I've seen this clue in the Thinks.com, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
