Baharat is an aromatic spice blend common in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly in Arab states of the Persian Gulf, Turkey, and North Africa.

Typically, it includes black pepper, cumin, coriander, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, and paprika, with regional variations often adding mint, cinnamon, or chili.
