In ancient times the Arab people were leading the world in
science, education, medical science and culture. Traditional written Arabic was
inaccessible for non Arab people before. So it takes time to translate the
Arabic folk tales to other languages from Arabic.
The Arabian folk tales share many features. These folk tale
stories display the social structures and values of the Arabs. It displays the
position and roles of men and women in Arab society. Their faith on God is
usually expressed through the hero, who uses his belief to complete the mission.

supernatural elements are a very important and common component of most Arabic
folk tales.
