<i><br><br></i>Named one of <i>Time</i> magazine&#8217;s Ten Best Books of the Year, Tahir Shah&#8217;s <b>The Caliph&#8217;s House</b> was hailed by critics and compared to such travel classics as <i>A Year in Provence</i> and <i>Under the Tuscan Sun</i>. Now Shah takes us deeper into the <i>real</i> Casablanca to uncover mysteries hidden for centuries from Western eyes. <br><b><br></b>In this entertaining jewel of a book, Tahir Shah sets off across Morocco on a bold new adventure worthy of the mythical <i>Arabian Nights</i>. As he wends his way through the labyrinthine medinas of Fez and Marrakech, traverses the Sahara sands, and samples the hospitality of ordinary Moroccans, Tahir collects a dazzling treasury of traditional wisdom stories, gleaned from the heritage of <i>A Thousand and</i> <i>One Nights,</i> which open the doors to layers of culture most visitors hardly realize exist. From master masons who labor only at night to Sufi wise men who write for soap operas,<b> In Arabian Nights</b> takes us on an unforgettable, offbeat, and utterly enchanted journey.
