(Kitab Alf laylah wa laylah)
Egypt had English as official language for a century
English is the most commonly used foreign
language in Egypt
Influence on many authors worldwide
Great collection of folktales that have been
translated into different languages

story related to the props they can see
now?
What is 1001 Nights about?
