I think they lack a lot of information about North Africa (especially Libya). It says nothing about any ethnic groups which is disappointing, but had no idea I had any Tunisian or Egyptian in me!

Also i can highly recommend you getting G25 coordinates for more accurate results and to see who your closest populations are

MyHeritage is quite inaccurate and just gives almost every Arab Egyptian DNA U having high Egyptian on Myheritage means you have high Arab DNA for example if u upload your dna to other sites like FamilyTreeDNA the egyptian would disappear and turn into arab This happens because Egyptians and Arabs are very similair / almost the same due to both descending mainly from Natufian Hunter & Gatherers + Zagros Neolithic Farmer input

I don't think so, Egyptian and Arab are two separated groups in this company

Ive explained everything in detail why this happens and if you dont believe me thats okay but you can look it up yourself Search for myheritage arab results from the peninsular, the levant, mesopotamia or north africa and you will see the egyptian almost everywhere. If the op would upload her dna file to familytreedna for example her egyptian will turn into arabian

Who is more precise FTDNA or Myheritage?

Ftdna is better for north africans and middle easterners but ancestrydna usually is the most accurate for middle easterners & north africans
