The Arabati Baba Tekḱe (Macedonian: Арабати баба-теќе, Albanian: Teqeja e Baba Harabatit, Turkish: Harabati Baba Tekkesi) is an Ottoman takya located in Tetovo, North Macedonia. The tekke was originally built in 1538 around the türbe of Sersem Ali Baba [sq], an Ottoman dervish.^[1] In 1799, a waqf provided by Recep Paşa established the current grounds of the tekke.^[2] The finest surviving Bektashi lodge in Europe, the sprawling complex features flowered lawns, prayer rooms, dining halls, lodgings and a great marble fountain inside a wooden pavilion.

Due to its striking architecture, the Arabati Baba Tekke has become an iconic symbol of Tetovo, and is featured on its municipal coat of arms.
