1001 Nights Souvenir Fridge Magnet (mg88)

This souvenir magnet from Saudi Arabia. It features a caravan of camels traveling through a desert at night, with text that says “1001 Nights” written above the caravan. The image evokes images from the classic collection of Middle Eastern folk tales, One Thousand and One Nights. These stories are weaved together by Scheherazade, a queen who tells them to a king over 1001 nights to avoid being executed. The tales include adventure, romance, suspense and magic. Camels are a common mode of transportation in the desert regions of Saudi Arabia, and caravans are a traditional way of traveling through the desert. So, this magnet is likely a popular souvenir for tourists visiting Saudi Arabia, referencing both a famous story collection and a traditional mode of transportation.
