[quote="rn"]It says on Wikipedia.org: "Aladdin (a corruption of the Arabic name Alauddin/Ala-ed-din, Arabic: علاء الدين, Chinese: 阿拉丁) is one of the tales from 1001 Nights and one of the most famous in Western culture. It concerns a young man named Aladdin living in China, who is recruited by a sorcerer to retrieve a wonderful oil lamp from a booby-trapped magic cave. After the sorcerer attempts to double-cross him, Aladdin keeps the lamp for himself, and discovers that it contains two evil genii that are bound to do the bidding of the person holding the lamp. With the aid of the genii, Aladdin becomes rich and powerful and marries a princess. The sorcerer returns and is able to get his hands on Aladdin's lamp (by tricking his wife, who is unaware of the lamp's importance), but Aladdin wins out in the end." The story, originally in Arabic, is actually set in China so that's where Agrabah must be.[/quote]
