Arab peoples differ highly depending on the region where they belong. They can be as European-looking as Queen Rania of Jordan and the Maltese (who are partially Arabic), as Berber looking as the current King of Morocco, as Middle Eastern looking as Saddam Hussein, and as Southeastern Asian looking as lots of Arabs in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Complexion: most are light brown. Those in the higher society tend to be always white. Those in the Maghreb (Northern Africa) are almost always brownish or tan.
Habits: almost all have roots in the bedouin (nomadic) traditions of the Arabian Peninsula, and practice the Islamic religion.

They're very varied.
Lebanese resemble south Europeans, and a large portion of them are Christian.
Egyptians, Iraqis, and Saudis look like the "steorotypical" Middle Easterner (i.e. - like Saddam), though a good portion of Saudis are black.
North Africans (Libyans, Algerians, Moroccans) are not as dark as the Saudis, yet not as light as the Lebanese. They also tend to have somewhat more delicate features. But..... a few Moroccans are white enough to pass for Irish (google "Lalla Salma" and you'll see what I mean).
Habits: overall, their culture stresses strong family ties and hospitality.

They look no different from anyone else. They are members of the human race and look like all the others. You cannot define any differences between arabic people and anyone else.

although i'm turkish, i don't really know them. all i know is that they have lots of wives and tons of children usually, it may be a stereotype, please no offence!
edit- although turkish people and arab people are both muslim, they have so different lifestyles, different origins (turkish people's originate in mid asia, not mid east actually) even different attitudes towards the aspect religion.
