I'm just curious...if Agrabah was actually real, where would the city be located? I'm guessing somewhere in Persia, since there is a slight Indian influence in a general Arab landscape.

Your thoughts?

I'm still sticking with my answer of that Turkey/Syria/Iran area.

Hmm...I wonder why no one has mentioned Maghreb North Africa yet. Marrakech could be another possibility. The city is located in a relatively dry area, with sand-colored buildings and streets. They even had Viziers back in medieval times (although they called their leaders Caliph instead of Sultan).

I may be feeling a bit ambitious, but I might even add Mauretania to the list. Laughing

I think because the series hints at people coming from the Northern regions of Africa to be "far away" kingdoms, but I don't know what "far away" is to them when they have a ye old airplane Laughing

Oh ok. I really haven't finished the series yet, so I wouldn't know. Embarassed Laughing

Do you think, then, Quirkistan would be located in Sudan?

It's possible, especially given they're part of the seven deserts.

I've heard Agrabah would be located in Iraq, Iran/Persia, Saudi Arabia or Morocco.

Basically the territories of other nations. No one knows the desert names, but we know the kingdoms contained there Laughing

Yeah, originally it was set in Baghdad and there's a lot of Iranian influence in the design.

Are there any Mongol tribal kingdoms in Aladdin tv series?

Not...that I remember? The closest we've come to that area is the far east on a trade route stop.

Thanks for answering my question. Very Happy

I just haven't been watching much of the episodes lately. That's it! I'm watching Plunder the Sea! Exclamation

I haven't seen them in a while myself. I keep hoping they'll put them on DVD, but that doesn't seem to be in the plans for Disney Confused

On those princess DVDs there's a few episodes, but the entire series? No.
