Abstract

"ALF LAILA" is an important tale of fiction in Arabic Literature. This tale comprises of Iranian and Arabic influence and has been translated in other Eastern languages as well. In terms of aesthetics this tale is beautifully equipped with parables, decorative gardens, exemplary characters, magical caves and adventures of beauty and love. "ALF LAILA" is also about the story of a common man's world which is full of aesthetics and imagination. This aesthetic approach is visible to us in the culture and society of Egypt and Baghdad; where the streets, palaces of rich, gardens and jewels are presented in their full glory. In the aesthetic life of Arab dance parties and beautiful ladies also appear. "ALF LAILA" is a sense of taste in which represents the natural landscapes, the salves of heaven and grand palaces whose arches are decorated with pearls, Almas and turquoises. This tale is very close to human nature where the conflict between right and wrong are present.
