Aladdin

Aladdin ( ; Arabic: علاء الدين, romanized: ʻAlāʼ ad-Dīn, IPA:, ATU 561, 'Aladdin') is a Middle-Easternfolk tale. It is one of the best-known tales associated with One Thousand and One Nights (often known in English as The Arabian Nights), despite not being part of the original text; it was added by the Frenchman Antoine Galland, based on a folk tale that he heard from the Syrian storyteller Hanna Diyab.
