My gut reaction was that this is some type of American cultural appropriation. Umar's Afrocentric private school sent this one drop (under the table money) white chick with a bunch of African Americans to Egypt. I have seen this range of diversity in real pictures of Siwa and other Berbers but not all clumped together with the whitest person in the middle like a Hollywood savior.
I did a google reverse search and... nothing.
I did a TinEye reverse search and the results are really interesting.

FYI, the Egyptian media like all 'Arab' media is notorious for promoting fair-skinned people let alone actors and celebrities. The Egyptian government will have you believe that most Baladi are fair-skinned if they could and tokenize all black types as being 'Nubians'.

traditional costumes during the 4th Egyptian Date Palm Festival in Siwa Oasis reflect the culture of the desert. These are the original traditional women dresses which are met only here, in the remote Oasis of this Berber (also called Amazigh) ethnic group. Siwa, Western Desert, Egypt 9 November 2018.
I think the R1b1* is V88 here also notable the high frequency of B2a1a .

B2a1a1a1
Haplogroup B2a1a1a1 (M109, M152, P32), previously B2a1a is the most commonly observed subclade of haplogroup B.
In Central Africa, B-M109 Y-DNA has been found in 23% (7/31) of Ngumba males from southern Cameroon,[4] 18% (7/39) of Fali males from northern Cameroon,[8] 5% (1/21)[8] to 31% (4/13)[4] of Uldeme males from northern Cameroon, 10% (3/29) of Ewondo males from southern Cameroon,[8] 7% (1/15) of a mixed sample of speakers of various Chadic languages from northern Cameroon,[8] 6% (1/18) of a mixed sample of speakers of various Adamawa languages from northern Cameroon,[8] 6% (2/33) of Bakola males from southern Cameroon,[4] 4% (1/28) of Mandara males from northern Cameroon,[4] and 3% (1/31)[4] to 5% (1/20)[8] of Biaka males from Central African Republic.
In East Africa, haplogroup B2a1a1a1 Y-DNA has been found in 11% (1/9) of a small sample of Iraqw males from Tanzania,[4] 11% (1/9) of a small sample of Luo males from Kenya,[4] 8% (2/26) of Massai males from Kenya,[4] and 4.5% (4/88) of a sample of Ethiopians.[9]
In Southern Africa, B-M109 Y-DNA has been found in 18% (5/28) of Sotho–Tswana males from South Africa,[4] 14% (4/29) of Zulu males from South Africa,[4] 13% (7/53) of an ethnically mixed sample of non-Khoisan Southern Africans,[9] 10% (5/49) of Shona males from Zimbabwe,[4] and 5% (4/80) of Xhosa males from South Africa.[4]
In North Africa, haplogroup B2a1a1a1 Y-DNA has been found in 12.5% (5/40) of Sudanese[9] and 2% (2/92) of Egyptians.[4]
In Eurasia, B2a1a1a1 (B-M109) has been found in 3% (3/117) of a sample of Iranians from southern Iran[21] and 2% (2/88) of a sample from Pakistan and India.[9]

Y-Chromosome Variation Among Sudanese: Restricted Gene Flow, Concordance With Language, Geography, and History Hisham Y. Hassan,1 Peter A. Underhill,2 Luca L. Cavalli-Sforza,2 and Muntaser E. Ibrahim1 * The Copt samples displayed a most interesting Y-profile, enough (as much as that of Gaalien in Sudan) to suggest that they actually represent a living record of the peopling of Egypt. The significant frequency of B-M60 in this group might be a relic of a history of colonization of southern Egypt probably by Nilotics in the early state formation, something that conforms both to recorded history and to Egyptian mythology.
Haplogroups A-M13 and B-M60 are present at high frequencies in Nilo-Saharan groups except Nubians, with low frequencies in Afro-Asiatic groups although notable frequencies of B-M60 were found in Hausa (15.6%) and Copts (15.2%).
The placement of the Oromo, who speak a language of the Afro-Asiatic family, in the first cluster is probably because of their possession of high frequencies of A-M13.
Copts B-M60 15.2% J1 39% E 21% R1b 15% (might be V88) ________________________________________
15% of B-M60 in Copts but no A-M13
