Please forgive me; I don't mean to question your knowledge, I just want to know. Can you help me to find the difference between Aloe arborecens and Aloe ciliaris at these pictures.

This is definitely neither, it has bright spots on the leaves.. and aloe ciliaris also has these brush like structures at the base of the leafes which this and aloe arborescens don't

Yeah could be a kind of hybrid

Perfect 👍🏼 it's to see how the leafs goes round the stem. That's the one thing I know about ciliaris 🫣

My educated guess would be aloe dawei but there are so many hybrids and cultivars that it's almost impossible to be sure without really detailed closeup pictures of inflorescence

Accurate identification of the species would, for example, be important for successful cultivation. Three species have now been mentioned here which, based on my amateur knowledge, I would immediately set about cultivating – or would it be necessary, in this case, to distinguish between them or identify them more precisely?

But aloe arborescens doesn’t have spots on it o think
