One thousand and one nights is a collection of famous stories from Arabs, Persians, Indians and areas in central Asia. But westerners insist on calling it Arabian Nights. I'm an Arab but I must admit that this wonderful collection does not have pure Arab materials. Even the main characters where the story revolve around Shahriar and Shahrazad have clearly distinguished Persian names. Not to b
um no he didnt, shakespeare wrote that play in like the 1600s, and the reason shakespeare is so famous because he created his plays all on his own, that's why peoples say he's a genius because he didnt base his world famous plays on stupid arabic stories. actually the fact is that shakespear's play "romeo and juliet" is based on a real romeo and juliet, they were his friends. so u arabs probably think that the gratest works in history are based on your stories, keep dreaming!
@paulzrulz um yes they did, and the story Qais and Layla was from the 600's a whole thousand yrs before that buddy. So i really dont get why u mentioned the date in this situation, it plays against u...
@paulzrulz Racisit much? Calm down moron, you might be right about Shakespeare, but that doesn't mean arabs have no great works, or nothing great has even be based on an arab tale. Infact it is completely wrong, a lot of work has been based on Arab tales, and so has many great work been based on many others...
Why is it called arabian nights? One Thousand And One Nights is a collection of Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore not arabic ones alone. Most of the stories according to wikipedia are drawn from the Persian "A Thousand Tales" and Indian stories combined. I don't understand, is it too hard for those dumb ignorant Hollywood producers to distinguish between cultures and ethnicities in the middle east?
@SonOfCyrusTheGreat it is called the Arabian knights universally. It was written during the Islamic period when all those people you mentioned were in the Arabian empire
i found the story awesome but why is a jew playing an arab? thats like a white man playing a native american. mili avital is a jew not an arab. unless the story is called 1001 jewish nights... besides that its very good.
@RatheSunGod001 I guess arab and jewish people shared similar physical likeness... It seems almost no real arab people in this movie, it's either american or european (mostly british) people. or should we called it european night maybe?
@azizrahmad you can say that i guess since they both represent the semetic peoples but if you call an arab a jew...well i dont think they would like that. i see your point, even john leguizamo is in here, hes a jew puerto rican. they did the same bullshit in stargate movie. most of the tribe was not even arab( puertorican, jew and others!) i dont see the reason to do that, but i would of went a different way...
@666x1 Actually, while some of the stories in 1001 Nights are Persian (Iranian) in origin, there are also Arabic, Indian and Egyptian stories. I think "Arabia/Arabian" was just an old blanket term for a large portion of the Middle East.
@WoundedWolfgirl true, i think it was mix of story which found in a book called 1001 . the oldest one written in Arabic , you can find in French museum.

Even Shakespeare was inspired by Arabian Narrations, he built his play "Romeo & Juliet" from "Qais & Layla"
