It appears there are many unrelated answers. So, here is what I have learned as the differences. But, first, since there are many different Arab countries, there are also different types of Arabic coffee, with each country brewing it a little differently.
In Arabic coffee, there is cardamom and sometimes other ingredients (saffron, ginger, flowers, etc) added. But, in Turkish coffee it is just finely ground coffee.
In Arabic coffee, you almost never add sugar in the beginning while in Turkish coffee, if you want it sweet, you mix sugar and coffee in water.
Arabic coffee can look very translucent (again, different types of Arabic coffee) while Turkish coffee is always pretty dark.
Arabic coffee is usually heavily roasted as well.
Arabic coffee can be brewed in a separate pot and then poured into a decorative container. Turkish coffee is almost always brewed in a cezve and served in little coffee cups.
Arabic coffee preparation (brewing time) may last up to 30 minutes or even more. Turkish coffee brewing time is usually 3–4 minutes.
