[quote="Mariposa79"]I know that Agrabah is a fictional city in a story. If this city is real then it would be in Arabia. Right? I don't know the boundaries of Arabia back in 
What Syera would say, " Medieval or ancient 7th century times". There are plenty of empires that build and diminished to the ground. Ancient City's renamed, borders built, possibilities that cities was never actually near the mainland. For example the Greek empire invaded the land of Egypt and there's Alexandria. I think it was named Alexander the great.
Greece is nowhere close to it. They say that Atlantis is somewhere in the Mediterreanan sea but sources say that Atlantis could be Cuba. I watched it on a discovery channel while the movie "Atlantis" was coming out.

Knowing me such as a dork that I am. I thought that Agra, India. Would be "Agra"bah. I may get this wrong but I heard that the animators went there to draw the architechure of the buildings and the designs for the movie. Agra is the place where they had the Taj Mahal. How it's designed could be an inspiration for the Sultan's palace configurations. All the peacocks , the fountains and the elephants. Since elephants in India is considered a trasportation or a sacred animal. I read the story about the Taj Mahal and the inspirations  on why it's built. It was a story about a great king who is madly in love with his beautiful wife. Nothing could compare to her beauty. So when she died of illness. He built the Taj Mahal for her. It complimented her beauty and everything that she stood for. Mahal is my other language means love.

Another funny conjunctions is Morroco, Africa. It's so funny. Because I read in a thread that the characters of Aladdin were out signing autographs in a Morrocco restaurant in Epcot. What made it more interesting is that I was going through the pin collection book at work and notice a Morrocco pin limited edition. And guess who's on the pin? ABU! That's just made things confusing. But anyways, If you look at the surroundings of Agrabah and Morroco. It's pretty much the same.
Architechure,camels, customs.  I notice that it's by the sea. Remember after the first kiss of Aladdin and Jasmine. You see the sea behind him. As he falls backwards. Could be the Dead Sea, Mediterreanan sea, or the Atlantic Ocean? Why would they sell fish in the marketplace? If the city is at the middle of the desert then wouldn't the fish dry or stink or be rotten? I don't recall seeing the sea by the city in the animated series. Remember they had to travel by carpet to get by the beach?  Which in the first movie there is.

So Is there a Sea or is there not a sea? What are your theories on where Agrabah could be? Please embellish me! Amuse me! Inform me! Teach me![/quote]
